set of records that match the current record. For example, if there are three records in
the related invoice table that match the customer record in the customer table you are
currently viewing, and you want to see all three invoices, use Match current record
only to display the three invoices.
• Match all records in the current found set creates a new found set in the related
table that matches all records in the current found set. For example, if you have a
found set of ten customers and there are forty invoices in the invoice table that match
any of these ten customers, use Match all records in the current found set to
display the forty matching invoices.
