Hello.. A professor here is having a little trouble building a multi-table
form using Paradox 3.5.. From the paradox 3.0 manual (this is a site
licensed program, and he doesn't have access to a 3.5 manual yet), under Forms,
it stated that the sequence: Multitable/Define/Link should be used to
create a link between two tables. Looking through the menu options, however,
revealed that there isn't a "Define" option! Does anybody know if this is
a bug in 3.5, or has Borland changed the options from 3.0 to 3.5? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Any >help would be greatly appreciated. Having just played with this a bit in 3.5: you must first create both the main form and the sub-form independently. Then, in the main form, you choose Multi/Table and indicate which sub-form and where. It requires that the sub-form's table be keyed and that the key relate to a field on the main form. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : {apple,coherent,limbo,mips,pyramid,ubvax}!itkin@guinan.Transact.COM :

The correct sequence is Multi/Tables/Place/Linked see pg 36 Presenting... pg 10 of same is not correct. -- ************************************************************************** * Steve Gribble (812) 855-9172/7629 gribble@cica.cica.indiana.edu * Systems Manager, Inst. of Social Research swg@iumail.ucs.indiana.edu * Dept. of Sociology, Indiana University gribble@iubacs
