Matt, It's a purchasing app and the Parent is the Material Request. The child is the line Items for each request. The Purchase Order number is a value that could be associated with many Line Items. Material Request 1 has 3 Line Items MR1 LineItem 1 has PO# 99 MR1 LineItem 2 has PO# 55 MR1 LineItem 3 has PO# 99 Material request 2 Has 2 Line Item MR2 LineItem 1 has PO# 99 MR2 LineItem 2 has PO# 22
If I search the Material Request form by a DO Filed for PO# 99 I want to show MR1 and MR2 in the results list. A table on the Material Request form will show me all related children and that is by design. I am stuck on how to return the parents since the multiple PO#'s can't be stored in the Parent record.

Lets start with the data model and how these things point at each other. Parent record: (Has a GUID in field: 179(?)) Child record: (Has a Parent GUID in field XXXX(?)) ( That does not look like a Many-To-Many relationship to me. It looks like a one[child] to one[parent]. Is there actually another form involved in this question that maps Parent GUID's to Child GUID's?) It sounds like you want to see a list of all parents for a child record. However the above data model does not allow for a single child to have more than one parent. (Or I am missing something. Which is likely as your post just did not parse well for me. :) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
