>If you always want to delete related records in "child tables" when you delete a record in the "parent table", you can set up referential integrity rules in the database. In that case, Visual FoxPro will create the corresponding triggers, in the database, to delete the related records automatically, any time you delete the parent record (even if you delete it manually, for example in a BROWSE window).


I wondered if I should mention RI - if the OPer does not know the syntax, RI probably would be overkill. If the delete was restricted, it was a badly formulated OP ;-))
