Well, since it is a tree, I suppose that displaying it in a TreeView would be a good choice. You can look at a sample of how to work with the TreeView in the solution samples that ship with VFP.

Dandrey,

I guess this is no different from any other programming project. Start by doing an analysis of the requirements, then come up with a design for a system that will the job.

Once you've done that, you can start thinking about particular programming issues. When you do, come back here with your specific questions.

Dandrey,

I think the core of such a system could consist of one table with a PrimaryKey, HorseName, SirePrimaryKey, DamPrimaryKey, and LocationOnDiskOfPicture fields. You would probably have a number of other pieces of information to record. Some of them, such DOB, could go in this table and others, such as a record of races run, you would put in child tables.

Regards,
Jim

Make things easy on yourself. Use software designed for people geneology. I know it's used often for animals. Personal Ancestral File is free at

Thanks everyone for your support and i really need to find documentation about it because i believe it's complex in this case for me, specially because a son can have parents and at the same time the parents has their own parents and so on, so i really appreciate your help with this.

Thanks
