Paul,
Do you also set the order for the child tables? Besides the relation, these also need to be set; either in the DE or through code (possibly the ShellAdditionalInit).

HTH.

>I've got VisualMaxframe Professional 4.0. I have a navigational grid on the 1st page of a degridnav2pages form. The icMainalias table has 2 foreign keys for status and class whose user friendly names I want to appear in the navigational grid. So I set relations from the foreign key fields in the icMainalias to the corresponding indexs in the lookup tables. The relation lines appear correctly in the data environment. In the GrdNav.SetColumnControlSources method I typed

>this.column5.controlsource = "ggstatus.sta_name"
>this.column6.controlsource = "ggclass.classname"

>If I insert a suspend and browse the tables individually the relation seems to work as the status and class tables move to their correct records as I change records in the icMainalias table. Then when I close the browse windows and resume the status and class columns seem to work correctly after that.
