Ya,but you've forgotten - I must start Visual FoxPro first :-)
Certainly, I used parent table first, then used child table, selected parent and declared relation into child.

It's not important to activate a child form (to set focus on it). The problem appears when I close a parent table - child form looks like it's still forced with relation. The only way I have discovered to overcome it is to reassign RowSource for child grid and ControlSource for all columns of child grid :-((
