Thanks Chris,

I'll give this a try.

>I haven't done this before, but looking at the Developer's Guide, you can add the 5 child records by setting the DocItem's AutoNewOnParentAdded property to False, then putting code in the DocItem's HookParentAdded() method. You also have to register DocItem as a child business object of DocHead in the form's constructor in order for the HookParentMethod() to be called.
