Hi foxgang.

I'm trying something I have not been doing for some time. No rude comments

please.

I have two tables. Both of which are used twice. For now just think of one

table used twice. There are two counters in the table and the second points

to the first so for example, record 1 may point to record 150. So I have a

relation set and if I move the pointer in the first table, the relative

record will be shown in the second. ok that's fine. But now I want to select

fields from each table.

Select distinct ;

table1.field1 as f1,;

table1.field2 as f2,;

table2.field3 as f3,;

table2.field4 as f4;

into cursor mycursor.

Despite the relation set I seem to get the records from table1 ok, but the

records from table2 are only the first record. So while f1 and f2 are filled

correctly, f3 and f4 are record 1 all the time. And not the related record.

Can what I want to do be done. Im sure IO did this in VFP3 (shows how long

ago it was) but it fails in VFP9 SP2.

Any clues please

Al
