Replicate and NetTalk

[Mike McLoughlin]

All my child files are set up for Replicate with a Site Field (string 4) and a Linkid (long) forming the link-to-parent key.

I can't see anywhere in the Browse template to prime a second key field - is there a workaround for this?  I have a GUID in every file but I want to avoid adding any more key-overhead to the system.

regards

Hi Mike,


For Replicate to work you need a key on the Guid field anyway.
So add that key. Then that makes the perfect key for browses and forms.

Hi Bruce

I do actually have a key already on each GUID - but what I don't have is a key in the child record linking to the parent's GUID field.  Which is what I think you are suggesting is the way to go.

Have you got any plans to add 2-component key support to browse ranges?

thanks

Mike

Its OK I found a workaround - link to the 2nd key element as File Relationship and then in the browse embed prime the first element (Site) to D000 or whatever it is.
