Karen,

Did you try this code

>SELE 2 
>USE TEACHERS INDEX TNAME
>Sele 3
>use ctable index cname 
>SET RELAtion TO TEACHER INTO teachers &&& ctable>teacher is operator

in the command window?

Also, NEVER use SELECT N (there N as a number). Use instead

use Teachers index tName alias Teachers shared in 0

select 0
use ctable index cname alias cTable shared
SET RELAtion TO TEACHER INTO teachers &&& ctable>teacher is operator

>Hi
>I am having a curious problem tha has only just started. I am using a set relation binding two databases A and B. When A is the control database, it works. WHen B is the control database, it doesn't work. Can anyone tell why this would not work? The only difference between the common field in both database is that the A database has 42 records, and the B has 38 (4 have been eliminated). Could this be cause of the problem?
