If the parent is the "builder" and the child are the "contacts" then why isn't the parent (builder) already on the correct record? You have no need to query. If you set the parent to a record the child will follow - is the rule. In this case the parent "builder" should be on the correct record. If that's not right then something is wrong - IMHO. BTW I asked about the relationship of the tables because it looks like you are setting up a many to one from the opening form I saw. Where the "contacts" is the many and one is the "builder". In that case I would have reversed the relationship. Where I setup the "contacts" as the parent and child the "builder". So as I selected contacts from the grid the FK of "contacts" would force the "builder" pkid to follow. And again I'd have no need to query the database because of the parent->child relationship I set in the framework. Ed and Paul accept all the examples they can get as long as they follow the Dabo framework rules. I'm sure you are allowed to post to the wiki. Not sure about hosting to allow the code to run? You have to ask.
