   I am trying to do "many-to-one" linking, as in a tree database where each tree specimen points to a species, and there are of course more specimens than species. I know I can just have a field in the tree record to insert the species name, but I really want to display the complete species record when I click on that field, not just see the name.

   I implemented this approach using "many-to-many" linking, and it works just fine, with one serious drawback: If I make just one error in creating a link, I am unable to remove that link - I must remove ALL links in the table. So obviously I am not going to take that risk.

   Overall, a very valuable app. Keep up the good work!

   Hi Will,

   On the linked record list view, you can swipe across any record to reveal the "Unlink" button. It's similar to deleting a record, except it will just unlink it instead of deleting it. Also adding a proper to-one relationship is on my to-do list.

   Thanks!

   I have another problem with many-to-many link. I have a form with 207 records. One of the fields is a many-to-many link to itself(the same form). It was working fine, before I reached 200 records mark. Or maybe it's not related. Anyway, I am trying to link a new record to existing one. I open Select Records window. The window freezes. I can see the records, but I can't scroll. The loading wheel is shown. I can only close it. Other forms links (many-to-many, to the same form) work fine. Any thoughts?
