admin-
how can I copy a data field from master table to my detail table? What I am looking for is similar to OwnerID. User will enter a data into master file and I would like to copy that datafield into my detail table.
thx

This happens automatically when you add a new record to the details table. Just make sure Foreign Key field don't appear on the ADD page.

Swat,
you can store some field values from master table in Session variables and use these values when you add a detail record.
