Relationship both ways

Relationship both ways
Sun, 16 Mar 2008 10:41:43 -050
I've got two databases and I'm trying to relate them both ways. The 
relationship is with one field: Year. So I've got the relationships in 
both db's, one going this way and one going that way.

It works fine going from one db to the other but not back the other way. 
Is there something missing or is this not possible?

Thanks for any insight,

Is one of the two year fields set to global storage or something like this
which makes it impossible to build an index?

Thank you! I knew I was doing something really dumb but didn't know what.
