Hi Lee

Glad you got this working.

But that's no excuse for not reading and understanding what John wrote -- as
quoted below :)

This is important because it demonstrates one area where FMP7+ offers
advantages to a developer over FMP6. Basically, you do NOT need a calculated
field to achieve your aims here. That makes for fewer fields (easier
management) and a clearer structure.

Instead of a calculated field [FieldA & " " & FieldB] as we were accustomed
to use in earlier versions, you can now simply add the two fields as keys
within the relationship setup:

FieldA::FieldA

AND

FieldB::FieldB

You will find this pretty useful as you develop in FMP7+.
