      My set up is as follows:

      List 1:

      RID (unique key)

      Data

      List 2:

      RID (foreign key)

      PID (foreign key)

      List 3:

      PID (unique key)

      Data

      This is essentially mapping a N-N relationship between lists.

      I have List 1 displayed in a list view filtered based on a querystring.  The filter is based on the RID.  What I’ve done next is create another list view with List 2 as the primary list and List 3 as the child list with the PID values linking.  List 2 is also filtered on RID.  When I do this I’m getting the appropiate values to display for List 2 but when I expand the child view there are no items displayed (and there should be).

      Following the tutorials this should provide me with what I need but I’m not quite sure where things are going wrong.

      A second question, if I manage to get this solution working, am I able to display all child values only and hide the parent?

      Okay I managed to fix this myself.  After spending half the day yesterday and most of this morning.

      What I was doing was in List 2 RID and PID were lookup values from List 1 and List 3.  However in List 1 and List 3 RID/PID were text strings so what I was doing was basically comparing a lookup with a text string.  Even though the text of the lookup was the same it wouldn't link them.

      List 1:

      RID: 0001

      Data

      List 2:

      RID: 0001 (link to List 1 element)

      PID: 0001 (link to List 3 element)

      List 3:

      PID: 0003

      Data
