Thanks Bob,

so my code should look like this?

        protected override void DefineParticipatingObjects()
        {
            this.oPolicyHeader = (PolicyHeader)this.RegisterBizObj(new PolicyHeader());
            this.oPolicy = (Policy)this.RegisterBizObj(new Policy());
            this.oPolicyLoan = (PolicyLoan)this.RegisterBizObj(new PolicyLoan());
            this.oReceipt = (Receipt)this.RegisterBizObj(new Receipt());
            this.oReceiptDetail = (ReceiptDetail)this.RegisterBizObj(new ReceiptDetail());

            this.oPolicyHeader.RegisterChildBizObj(this.oPolicy);
            this.oPolicyHeader.RegisterChildBizObj(this.oPolicyLoan);
            this.oPolicyHeader.RegisterChildBizObj(this.oReceipt);
            this.oReceipt.RegisterChildBizObj(this.oReceiptDetail);
        }

Then when I want to save I just do:

mmSaveDataResult result = oPolicyHeader.SaveEntity();

How do I decide if I want to call SaveDataSet or SaveEntity or something else?

>There is no 'Save' of the Business Process. Think of the Business Process object as an object where multiple Business Objects are needed. Your goal basically is to create method(s) to do work that require the use of many Business objects. You can also register business objects as children of other business objects by calling the RegisterChildBizObj method in the DefineParticipatingObjects method.
