Change a Relation

You can change a relation by typing over that relation's statement on the Edit Database Relations panel. The file (object), the relation, and the related file or field (referenced object) on the statement can be changed. CA 2E provides automatic relation syntax checking to prevent entry of invalid statements.

  1. On the Edit Database Relations panel, type a new object, relation, or referenced object (file or field) over the existing name and press Enter.
  2. Press F10 to define objects if the referenced object is not yet defined.

Note: To change the file or field name, do not type over the name and define a new object. Zoom into the file or field details and change the name.
