There is a difference between setting relations in data environment and setting relations in the database.

The quote you give is probably for the database. In the data environment you must drag a field over an index.

For the second issue: open the Help file, click on Contents, go to Upgrading.

>Can someone confirm whether this is a VFP 3.0 -vs- 5.0 version difference. In Whil Hentzen's book on version 3.0 , pg. 295 states "Drag index names (not field names)from one table to another." I tried unsuccessfully for hours. But I'm using VFP 5.0 so I checked the RelationalExpr property of a relationship in my data environment and it states the property, "Specifies the expression based on fields in the parent table that relates to an index in the child table." Note: field names NOT index names. Hmmm ... So I try it and it works!
