Thank you, Thomas. I am debating with myself now if the entire process of building VFP RI is worth the effort. Since I am rapidly moving away from VFP database to SQL database (where creating RI is much simpler) I may be better off leaving the way my application works now and concentrate of other tasks. But I may look at the suggestions you provided.
