Al, You need to have a join in the select statement which reflects the relationship as SQL meremy opens a copy of the table to do the extract so as far as it is concerned the two tables won't be related.

I'm trying something I have not been doing for some time. No rude comments please. I have two tables. Both of which are used twice. For now just think of one table used twice. There are two counters in the table and the second points to the first so for example, record 1 may point to record 150. So I have a relation set and if I move the pointer in the first table, the relative record will be shown in the second. ok that's fine. But now I want to select fields from each table. Select distinct ; table1.field1 as f1,; table1.field2 as f2,; table2.field3 as f3,; table2.field4 as f4; into cursor mycursor. Despite the relation set I seem to get the records from table1 ok, but the records from table2 are only the first record. So while f1 and f2 are filled correctly, f3 and f4 are record 1 all the time. And not the related record. Can what I want to do be done. Im sure IO did this in VFP3 (shows how long ago it was) but it fails in VFP9 SP2. Any clues please Al [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/bd031ecabf2b60499200aab3dbb4a999921f7...@ex-a-fpl.fpl.LOCAL ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
