283.0. "FOCUS AUTORDB with TEAMDATA relations?" by TOLKIN::ASHLEY () Mon Nov 13 1989 16:16

    
    	I would like to use TEAMDATA to maintain some relations and
    then use FOCUS for reporting (read only).  I have attempted to use
    AUTORDB to create the .MAS, etc. files but it cannot find the teamdata
    relation.  If I use RDO to create a relation in the TEAMDB.RDB,
    FOCUS can find it.  Any clues on what the difference may be?  Special
    characters? Protection? 
    
        Mail on this subject would be most appreciated,

Peter,

I am confused - "use TEAMDATA to maintain relations". Where are these
relations? I strongly doubt that they are in TEAMDB itself. If you display
the names of the tables in a folder and then use EDIT_SCREEN, you can move
to the right (->) until you can see the column marked LOCATION. This
column will show the name of the database containing the table and at
least some indication of the name of the relation/table in that database
(not necessarily the same as the name used in TEAMDATA).

Hope this helps,

Peter
