Re: Link multiple MO's to a CO LI Rel

Joan,
    Sorry... I guess I stuck my 2 cents in something that I don't fully
understand... (sample/first article ????) No idea what this is..  But one
last thought...I would think that if you populated the same fields in Momast
that mapics does when you create an M/O from a C/O... You should be
alright..Mapics won't know how the record got there or how it got updated...
Also not sure what kind of headache you will get with 2 mo's to one C/O...
Should be easy enough to test....

Good Luck
Pete
