I have the following 4 Foxpro DBF data files. Jobs JOBNUM CHARACTER 20 ... Primary index: JOBNUM JobSections JOBNUM CHARACTER 20 SECTNUM CHARACTER 20 ... Primary index: JOBNUM + SECTNUM Secondary Index: JOBNUM Claims JOBNUM CHARACTER 20 CLMNUM NUMERIC 3 ... Primary index: JOBNUM + STR(CLMNUM, 3, 0) ClaimSections JOBNUM CHARACTER 20 CLMNUM NUMERIC 3 SECTNUM CHARACTER 20 ... Primary index: JOBNUM + SECTNUM + STR(CLMNUM, 3, 0) Secondary index: Primary key: JOBNUM + STR(CLMNUM, 3, 0) Linking the Job Sections file to the Job file as well as linking the Claims file to the Jobs file is simply a matter of using the JOBNUM field so I can accomplish this ok. At design time I am trying to use the MasterSource/MasterFields properties to set up a relationship between these 2 files using a combination of the JOBNUM/CLMNUM. When I click on the "..." for the MasterFields, I am only allowed to choose from the 2 indexes for the ClaimSections file (as shown above) and a single field from the Claims file which gives me JOBNUM + STR(CLMNUM, 3, 0) -> JOBNUM which does not appear to give me the link I need. Am I going about this entirely the wrong way or is there something else I should be doing in order to give me the link I am after. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Sean Hannan
