| Hi, I have a Parent - Child file relationship linked by an ID field. The
parent file contains the people names and the record id, the child file only
contains the record ID. I view the child data in a browse and use the
template update/insert.view browse buttons. In the child update form I use
a drop combo from the parent file to use the real names and then pass the ID
to the child file update form. QED. However when I update a child record I
cannot initialise the drop combo with the correct name. It always uses the
first parent record. In the Actions I have unchecked 'Use first availble
record if USE variable is null'. It is easy to manually change the driop
combo manually but only after it has opened with the correct value. I have
tried putting embeds at various places but the drop combo always reverts to
the first parent record. Anyone got ideas on how to resove this. Thanks
