Marcel,

  It depends on what you mean by "relationship".  If your not enforcing RI,
then the relationships can be anywhere.  Their basically a shortcut for
creating joins when you use the query designer.

  If you are enforcing RI, then they *must* be in the backend to work.
Putting them in the front end achieves nothing additional other then what I
stated above.

Dear group,

I am stugling with the following. In our current situation I have a FE and a
BE database. The relationships are currently stored in the BE database. Now
the question is why not put them in the FE database and just leave the plain
tables in the be database.

Advantages should be
- performance in multiuser env.
- more control over the database because with each update you can change,
add a relationship
- peoplo who want to access the database through excel, and so on have more
trouble in comprending the database.
- field updates, new tables are easily to create instead of using 3rd party
backend updaters

Are there disadvantages???

Thanks,

marcel vreuls
