G'day Dennis,

I have similar tables\forms but my two date columns are not the same
name.   Is there any likelihood that you will need different dates in
the two tables?   If so, and you have another column in both tables by
the same name, you won't get the child rows displaying when you call
the form.

TranHeader               TranDetail
HeaderID                 HeaderID
TBDate (TranBegDate)     TranDate
PsnlNumb                 PersNumb
...                      ...

is how BizMan is constructed.   This also allows for different products
or services to be supplied\sold by different personnel at different
dates on the same invoice - as in programming hours or a hairdressing
salon where the colour(color) is applied by one person, the cut done by
another etc.

If there is any vague possibility of needing different values in both
tables I would suggest a rename of one of the columns.
