I would check the 'Copy Value from item' property in the detail block. Make sure it references the item from the master block. If that looks OK, go to the master block relation and copy (highlight and Cntl/C) the join condition. Drop the relation and re-create it with the join condition in your buffer (paste - Cntl/V). Careful, when you drop the relation you will lose the ON-POPULATE-DETAILS and ON-CHECK-DELETE-MASTER block level triggers in your master block. If you didn't add any code to these triggers you should be OK. This usually works for me. Hope it helps. Received on Wed Jan 13 1999 - 19:59:39 CET
