>>Hi and Help - I am new to the MM framework. I have a master demographic table that resides on 3 of 4 page frames. The 4th page frame is a child showing contributions. There is one child record for each master record. I have tried a number of combinations and have been unsuccesful in getting the child to display on page 4. I am getting an Invalid control source for the page 4 controls. I am using 2 different business objects. I have tried both on the form. I have tried the business objects on their corresponding page frames. Usually I get an alias not found. The example isn't real clear and I am not sure what I am doing wrong.>

Thanks Kevin - I have double checked the z-order, and was reasonably certain it was instantiating first. I am going to go back and review my steps, because I have tried a large number of combinations and haven't been succesful; yet. Basically, I would like pages 1,2, and 3 to house the master demographics, and page 4 to hold a child table. Would it be better to put the bixobj for the master on the form, or on pages 1,2,and, 3.

I missed Nicole's call earlier. I am attending the LA conference, and will attend your session. I'll call tomorrow (Tuesday) with pmt. info. Thanks again
Tom
