Hello Jim,

But it is a one to many relationship. I was pretty sure that I had forgotten to set the linkmaster relationship. I was sure that was the answer. Not! But I remembered John's comment regarding deleting the relationship in the Forms DE. That apparently works. I still see the multiple task orders in the Task Tab and don't have the navegational problems in the detail form or the '*' in the browse tab. Which is all correct.

But this is very disconcerting because on page 290 of the VFP Developers Guide the set up for one to many is described both ways: using the forms DE and using the forms properties. It dosen't state 'use one or the other - not both'.

I actually have two pagesframes that use this method: The Patient form with the many open Task Orders for each Patient and another pageframe with Employees and a tab showing the many Task Orders that a given employee can be assigned to. They both seem to work now that I deleted the relationship in the Forms DE.

I appreciate your response very much. Any further suggestions will also be appreciated. TIA.

Regards,

Paige
