This is a classic case of a situation where one should do what works and not
worry about why something else doesn't.

set relation to nJobID into crap
delete for !EMPTY(crap.nJobId)

works.

That's the major advantage we have with Foxpro; there is always more than one
solution to any programming problem! We're so lucky compared to those poor sods
who have to use VB or Access...
