>>>The reason I am asking is when I was doing a small test of two cursors I only created an index on the Target cursor (the one which has the SET RELATION TO set). And it worked in my test case. But when I do it in the program code, it does not work. But once I build an index on the cursor TO which the relation is set, it works.

The index tag is on the Integer field. And I found another problem with the SET RELATION TO approach. I will start a new thread and describe the problem on the example.
Thank you.
