I would like to create a new Parent record on a form and relate existing childrean to that parent.

Another way to say it....is all the children are already created....then I am creating a new parent in a form....and would like a picklist of existing children I can relate to the parent.

hi Doug

Create the parent table and then use the Relationship interface to create the relationship. Do you know how to do that?

the [Related {Parent} ID#] is the foreign key field in the child table that associates parent >> to child.

You can either import en masse the [Related Parent ID] into the child records, being careful to include the child Record ID#s in the import; or, you can edit each child record one at a time to select its parent.

Does this make sense? Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
