enter data into a related field in a
record of the current table. (See
“Adding and duplicating
records” on page 35.)
Allow creation of related records in this table via this
relationship.
When this option is selected, entering data in a related
field that has no corresponding related record creates a
related record based on the match field in the current
table.
Delete matching records (in the
related table) whenever you
delete a matching record in the
current table. (See
“Deleting
records” on page 37.)
Delete related records in this table when a record is deleted
in the other table.
This option deletes related records even when you’re
browsing a layout that doesn’t display the related
records.
Sort related records. Sort records. Then, in the left list in the Sort Records
dialog box, double-click the fields to sort. To change the
order in which fields are sorted, drag fields in the right
list into the order you want. Select other options, then
click OK.
Selecting this option does not affect the sort order in the
related file.
