Assigning Unique Names to Field Entries

Normally the name of a foreign key is the same as the name of the original key field; in this case Horse code. However,CA 2E files cannot contain duplicate field names. To assign unique names to the two new foreign key entries,CA 2E prefixed Horse code with the For text you entered. If you had not entered For text,CA 2E would have added a 5-digit number to Horse code to create a unique name within the HORSE file; for example, Horse code 25642.
