**SetOpenRelated( )**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetOpenRelated** | Force the RelationManager.Open method to open all the related tables in levels deeper than one. |

The **SetOpenRelated** method is used to trigger the open of all related tables of a target primary table. Any table that is included in a VIEW is always opened. **SetOpenRelated **ensures that other tables not in a View will be opened unconditionally. By default, the RelationManager Open method only opens the first level of child tables for overall performance benefits in multithreaded applications.

**Implementation:**

The **SetOpenRelated** method sets a PRIVATE property to trigger the opening of all related tables. It is usually called just prior to the primary table's Open method

**Example:**

**SELF.AddItem(?Close,RequestCancelled) !Add the close control to the window manager**

**Relate:Jobs.SetOpenRelated() ! Open all tables related to Jobs**

**Relate:Jobs.Open ! File Jobs used by this procedure, so make**

**! sure its RelationManager is open**

**SELF.FilesOpened = True**

**! Initialize the browse manager**

**BRW1.Init(?Browse:1,Queue:Browse:1.ViewPosition,BRW1::View:Browse,Queue:Browse:1,Relate:Jobs,SELF)**

**SELF.Open(QuickWindow)**
