>I need to create a relation. The only relation it will allow me to create in the DE is by making table2 the parent. This will not work for me, I need table1 to be the parent table. It wont let me create that relation. Because there is no field, just an index in table1. How can I create a relation, making table1 the parent.

Steve,
Sorry for the empty message sent yesterday. It was unintentional, started to reply and then I had to leave in a hurry even didn't notice I pressed 'send'.
To create the relation you want you could either click 'relation line' and edit it or do it in code. If you would do that in code click the line and delete it from your dataenvironment.

select table2
set order to tag < TheTagThatStartsWithField1 >
select table1
set relation to str(field1)+'.'+str(field2) into table2

PS: I'm not sure you need '.' part but if it's already in your tag expression yes.
