   could not find family member

   From: jim.giner@suny.edu   
      
   I have a table that whenever I want to modify the structure I get a message   
   "could not find family member" and I can't save my structure changes.  It   
   seems to only occur in one folder.  Here's what I did to get around it.   
      
   copy CAMPUS to another folder.   
   create a NEWCAMP table in this other folder.   
   borrow the structure of campus for newcamp   
   added my new field to newcamp   
   save   
   at this point I could re-open my NEWCAMP table and restructure with no   
   problem.   
      
   now:   
   copy NEWCAMP back to the proper folder (the place where it gets referenced   
   by my appls.)   
   delete my old CAMPUS table in the proper folder   
   copy NEWCAMP to CAMPUS in the proper folder   
   try to restructure and I get the could not find family member message when I   
   try to save the structure change.   
      
   AS you can see, it didn't happen until I got back to my original folder and   
   named it by my original name (campus).   
      
   Any ideas?   
      
   btw - P5
