Did that:

use person order main in 0
use auth order main in 0
set relation to id into auth
brow
sele auth
brow

and click on person browse screen and move the record pointer, the auth follows it's relationship, as expected. FWIW, I have the character field ID indexed tag as UPPER(id), even if it's all numbers, but it helps me to remember that "everything" in the CDX is UPPER(blah). I even tried RelationExpr: UPPER(id), does not make any difference.

I checked the project again this morning (in hopeing that giving the VFP a overnight rest with PC off), same thing. Doesn't matter, but it's VFP 6.0 SP5.

>Check your index I see you have main for child order and ID as relational expression, unless main's index expression is something like ID + Something else, your relation will not work.

>Also you could try it out without a form, open your tables from the command window or the data session window, set up the relation and browse them both at the same time, move through PERSON and AUTH should cnage accordingly, if not, then your index expresion is at fault.
