Hi,

I need your advice please.

I have a huge paradox database, which consists of many (more than hundred)
paradox tables. These tables are located in many different directories.
The simplified situation is like I have A, B and a crossref table.
The A and the xref tables are in the same directory.
The crossref table tells which records from B belongs to a given record in A
(and vice-versa) something like master/detail relationship.
No problem with the master/detail, but the actual details are in the B
table...
So what I really would like to do is something like

SELECT Btable.*, Xreftable.*
FROM Btable, xreftable
WHERE Btable.blatt=xref.val

using a query. In other words I need a subset of records from table B
which belong to a given record in table A.

But the tables are in different directories.
To stay compatible with the original program I can't modify the structures.

Since B contains more blob fields, lookup is not an option. (In addition
it's about 40-50 fields in B)

Do you have any idea how I could join those tables?

Thanks in advance.
