I have a FM 5.0 (Mac) database with 2 files: one with contact information and the second with transactions done with the contacts. There are many transactions for each contact. The transaction datase uses related fields to fill in info like first name, last name, etc. from the contact info to the corresponding fields in the trasaction form. The fields are related fields, not portals.
This all works fine... untill we do a sort based on one of the related fields in the transaction database. Nothing happens and the records are still in the original order. A sort based on non-related fields works fine.
Any clue as to what is going on would be appreciated.
