Larry,

I would also suggest that if Ken is wanting to show all the children he needs to make sure that his relationship is setup so that he has SET SKIP TO the child table and make sure the child fields are in the detail band of the report. He should also make sure he has selected the parent table before he issues the REPORT FORM command. This will make sure all of the child records get printed.

Dave :-)
