Hi Kingsly,
When moving a table or tables from one application to another those relationships that were previously in place were part of the schema of the previous application so they do not transfer over. What does transfer over though is the reference field and its values in any of the child tables. For example if I am moving my Companies table and my Contacts table (with Companies as the parent of Contacts) the Contacts table will still have the Related Company field. What this means is that after being moved you would need to create the relationship again and while doing so pick the existing Related Company field as your Reference field. This will allow you to re-relate your records. Unfortunately, these relationships as they exist are lost during the transfer process.

Yes. But, I am thinking of getting rid of the parent table in this case. For I have built a new one now, which will be a parent for other tables. So, I will make sure to re-link it all and break the connection. With our limited plan, I cannot create another application, otherwise, I would have gone with copy application option with all links intact.
