>I have found that relations set in the DE are always loaded correctly and they work fine exactly as they should. The problem is that the developer doesn't always know exactly what is going on. The problems I have seen with grids are related to setting a relation in the DE and then setting a different relation with the grid properties, this will always cause difficulty. The idea is to do it one way or the other but not both.

A good point, Jim. I agree that it is the programmer's fault, not a bug in VFP which is how it sounded.
