  I think the best way would be to create Constraints using a Primary Key
for the ID in the MAT table and a Foreign Key on the seed table.

Subject: Rbase 6.5+ DOS - Setting up rules - verify a value


I have two tables called MAT and SEED.  I want to restrict data entry to the
table SEED such that a value for column ID must exist in table MAT before
allowing entry into SEED.

I went through the menu system for database, modify, rules, verify a value
and get to a screen asking for Rule table, Rule column, Verification table
and Verification column.

I have been unable to get this option to work.

What is the proper way to set up a rule to verify a value.

Thanks.   Bill Niehaus
