Mark,

Thanks for your reply.

If the connection to the database via remote view is inaccessible due to communication problems, etc., wouldn't that be the same as not being able to find the table it is linked to?

Actually, instead of using a form, I am using a number of classes and therefore there are no data environments being used. The grid that I mentioned is contained within a class, if I comment out the code that sets up the grid along with the setting of the recordsourcetype and recordsource, the error goes away, of course then the grid no longer works. I will look again to make sure that no extraneous tables are being opened.

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg


>>I have an application that uses a combination of remote views and SQL passthrough. This application is run against an Oracle 8i database. At the local site the application runs without problems, however at the remote sites I am receiving the error "Cannot resolve backlink" when a form is run. I have determined that the problem is related to a grid that I am manually setting all the columns in a 1 to many relation. This grid displays data from a parameterized remote view. As the user changes the row of the single item the grid is updated with all the entries related with that item. At this time the number of many items is less than 10 items. I have run VALIDATE DATABASE at the remote sites and there are no problems reported. We are testing the application at 2 remote sites with the same problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. When I ping each site the return speeds are between 30 and 70ms.
