When trying to build a relationship betweet two tables, I'll received the
error message "Invalid Field Definition "ID' in definition of index or
relationship. I have checked and rechecked the 'ID' field, but can't seem to
locate the problem.

So what does this error mean? and How can I fix it?

Thanks
 
It sounds like the two fields have different data types or field lengths.
Make sure their data types are the same - exception-autonumber PKs join to
Long Integer FKs and if the type is text, make sure the lengths are the
same.
 
Probably a invalid reference to the wrong foreign key. Can you explain the
fields you are trying to relate to eachother? Try to give your ID fields a
proper name that way you can identify them better when trying to create the
relationships in the relationship window
