Smile "With relation to"

Hello,

Could someone tell me if it is correct to say "with relation to"? I have been told that the grammatically correct alternative is "relating to". Your thoughts on this would be welcomed.

Thanks

Default Re: "With relation to"

Yes. This phrase is grammatically correct, though relating to is used more often.
It might be used in the case: He is perfect with relation to his sewing skills.
