See properties LinkMaster and RelationalExpr. You can change these properties in the standard grid builder. Perhaps you have to change ChildOrder too - I'm not sure right now.

A view will give you some advantages, though: specifically, you can create temp indices to sort data, for instance, when the user clicks or double-clicks on a grid header. This isn't possible with the relationship mentioned above, since it depends, precisely, on an index.

>I want a grid at the bottom to display all of the related notices sent out... shouldn't the grid, which has a datasource of 'notice' by default only allow display of relation records??? I move from one order record to the next and I see the notice table moving along; but I can see other none relation records in there as well... so, am I to have to create a view/cursor for such a simple task?? or am I wwwaaaayyyy overdue for bed and missing something basic???
