When you see syntax like this:

SET RELATION ... [ADDITIVE]

the brackets ("square parentheses") often mean that the part, in this case "additive", is optional. Either use the ADDITIVE keyword, or omit it; but don't include the brackets.

>hi,
>thank you.
>
>i try i get error message(variable"additive" is not found)
>
>

>SELECT xldata  && That table contains Field4
>SET RELATION TO Key INTO nan [ADDITIVE]&& if you mean "KEY" PK ,i don't have any pk at my tables.
>
>GO TOP
>REPLACE ALL a WITH nan.a,;
>            b WITH nan.b,;
>            c WITH nan.c,;
>            d WITH nan.d,;
>            e WITH nan.e,;
>            f WITH nan.f,;
>            s WITH nan.s,;
>            l WITH nan.l,;
>            char9 WITH nan.char9,;
>            char10 WITH nan.char10,;
>            char11 WITH nan.char11,;

>            char14 WITH nan.char14,;
>            char15 WITH nan.char15,;
>            char16 WITH nan.char16,;
>            char17 WITH nan.char17,;

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
