I have not checked the component number or running DB Config > update Parent Association. I will give that a try. Thank you for the hints.

TMS2010 R2 Hey Allison, Have you checked the component record numbers (whenever there's a number off, I usually find them the culprit)? Have you tried running the DB Config > Update Parent Associations? Chad Petrovay | Collections Database Administrator MIM-Musical Instrument Museum | 4725 E.

TMS2010 R2 Hi all, I am trying to create parent-child relationship between a bottle and a stopper. I followed all the instruction and I am running into an issue that I am not sure how to trouble shoot. I have connected the parent (bottle) to the stopper (child). When I refresh the record the information in the group field seems weird. It reads: "Stopper: (41.900.420.B; Complete)" for the parent record 41.900.420.A And "Bottle: Mount Washington Glass, Bottle: Catsup Bottle (W46) (41.900.420.B; Complete)" for the child record 41.900.420.B Shouldn't the Child record have 41.900.420.A [parent] in the group information? At the moment it just looks like it is attached to itself. I know this is going to be extremely confusing to some people. Is there any way around this? Am I doing something wrong? Feel free to contact me off list. Thank you! Best, Allison Allison Evans Registrar Stark Museum of Art 712 Green Avenue Orange, TX 77630 409-886-ARTS or 409-886-2787
