>>>Hi,

>>>Say you have a Cascading Referential Integrity set to Cascade and update foreign key tables when the value of unique field/column of primary table is changed.

What if one of them fails (for whatever reason), does SQL Server have an “internal” TRANSACTION set to Undo the changes to those tables that managed to be updated? Or do I have to do something in VFP to set TRANSACTION?

It will tell you the FK that failed.
