thanks for your reply...
Odd things happening, I changed the path but it still couldn't find the tables. If I opened the 2 databases in my main program would that force the relationship? I've had to hard code the opening of the file and remove it from the dataenvironment for my post-install setup program.

Unfortunately I can't repeat the problems other users have had running the main exe.
