Strange. As soon as I opened the master query I get the error. The test
app is VERY simple (in fact I only have one line of code to open a second
query).

When I get to the office I will put the test app on my web site for someone
to PLEASE download and see what is wrong - it must be just a property
setting but I cannot see the difference between my application and the demo.

There is simply something confusing you here. EditSQL should have no bearing
on whether you can select data in a master-detail setup or not.
