Hi all.  The situation is this:  

A department had two tables that had a master-child relationship.  They
were HUGE.  For performance reasons they broke this table into 16
master-child pairs, for a total of 32 tables.  Of course, these tables
have the same structure as the originals.  This is done, and they will
not undo it.

I have a form with 16 buttons on it, where the user can press on the
button representing which table pair they want to view.  

I want to design a form whose data model is changed on the fly by this
first form using OPAL, which displays one master record and a
table-object showing detail records.  This form will have heavy
customization of fonts, frames, colors, etc.  Could someone post/email
a code snippet for doing this?

By the way, the strategy of basing the form on a query result is much
too slow.

Thanks in advance if you can tell me how to do this.  I could hammer it
out; but this needs to get done soon and I'm already working overtime
on another project all through the Thanksgiving holiday. :(

Beleive me when I say I've tried to do what you want and it can't be
done. You can't get paradox to resync the datamodel after changes to
links; and if you change to tablename of a TFrame, everything in it
changes as it is when you first dropped it in the design. Sucks.

The simple work-around is to create 16 forms plus one with the selection
buttons on it. Call the 16 from the 1.
