Re: FORMS - linking views by master-detail relationship

Just to clarify the situation :
In article <94234.123521KJOHNSON_at_ESRIN.BITNET>, <KJOHNSON_at_ESRIN.BITNET> says:

(a) If you try to default a block (with a master block)

     when there is no 'foreign key constraint'
     you get the error : FRM-11106 no master blocks available
     telling you that there is no 'foreign key constraint'
(b)  I can't see how you can implement a 'foreign key constraint'
     between two views directly.

N.B. If you :
      (a)  Create two TABLES
      (b)  Default the blocks you require
      (c)  Drop the TABLES and create VIEWS with the same names/structure
     you end up with a form which does what you want
     (but I would hope there is a better way ????)

Any ideas ?
