Add mode problem on field setup with Foreign Key

Hello,

I have two tables (one-to-many relation) related thru a common key. I have setup the Relation using the Database Designer. The Form is populated using Drag-and-drop which automatically adds the BindingSource, TableAdapter, and Binding Navigator. The Relation works great in the change mode, and life is good.

In the Add mode the field setup with the Foreign Key is not automatically populated as it is in Change mode. The field can be updated manually, but that defeats the purpose of setting up the Relation.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I know this is difficult to visualize without seeing it.

Thank you for any ideas,

Tom

The detail grid (or some other graphic control) should be linked to the relation itself not the underlying detail database table. Master's PK should be FK in Detail.

See here on MSDN2:

One BindingSource is bound to the parent Customers table in the data set. This data is displayed in the master DataGridView control. The other BindingSource is bound to the first data connector. The DataMember property of the second BindingSource is set to the DataRelation name. This causes the associated detail DataGridView control to display the rows of the child Orders table that correspond to the current row in the master DataGridView control.
