Hi Olaf,

Looks like native RI is buggy by itself in VFP8. It returns Data Type mismatch on the line

llRetVal=!SEEK(lcParentID,lcChildWkArea)

Now, how can I turn RI off? Set everything to ignore?

I think I better go from the interface for now.

Also I still can not figure out how to delete the first record in a grid.

To disable triggers, eg for bulk insert, you could set the insert triggers to something like (TYPE("glRIOff")="L" .And. glRIOff) .Or. (...insert trigger expression...). Otherwise delete the triggers (of course not the stored procedures) and recreate them after the bulk insert.
