This post is an ammendment to a post I sent about 1/2 hour ago.

I re-read my post and uncovered an error in a piece of code I wrote. I want to correct my error so that I reflect the true piece of code I have written.

In the init() of my child form, I made a mistake:

it actually reads:

lparamters tnvoterid
=seek(tnvoterid,"votersfile","nfieldid") && parent table
=seek(tnvoterid,"fielddetail",nfieldid") && child table
set key to votersfile.nfieldid in fielddetail

in the default value of the nfieldid field in my child table, I have the code:

iif(used("votersfile),votersfile.nfieldid,-1)
