Diana,

I'd use several views, basically one for each underlying child table. Assuming the child tables all have say iClientKey as their foreign keys into client you just set the filter tab in the view designer to EmergencyVisit.iClientKey = ?client.iPrimaryKeyField

Whenever the value controlling the subset of the view changes you TableUpdate() it to save changes and then Requery( "EmergencyVisitView" )

>I think that makes sense. However, I have very little experience with parameterized views and am wondering how I'm going to set up this view to change from all clients, to clients with rows in the emergency visit table to clients with rows in the legal activity table and back to clients. Also, I'm assuming I can treat the view just like the client table in my database and set persistant relationships so the other pages work so conveniently...
