Yourgrid.yourcolumn.ControlSource='yoursecondtable.yourfield'>I don't find myself doing this much since I'm using the contents of a SQL statement so often, however I need to have one column of a grid display a field from a related table. I have the SET RELATION set up properly, of course, and this seemed to work fine a week or so ago, but now I come back to the form that contains the grid to try to finish it - it got put on the back burner for awhile - and now it's not working. Is there a trick to this?
