ok, you are correct. And this made me realize that I still need the field, but that it shouldn't be a foreign key. The marathon_login.marathon_type is the marathon type that they are currently logged into. The marathon_entries.marathon_type has whatever marathon was in use when the entry was created. Still, I wonder why the original field wouldn't work as a foreign key. Was it because the table was already referenced through the marathon_id? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:184299 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
