Mere Mortals documentation is some of the best that I have read of any programming tool or product.

Have you read the section...
"Defining Parent-Child Business Object Relationships"

it is step by step.

>AS for VFP 6, the company I work for is getting away from proprietary, closed and buggy systems that just get bigger and bigger with no real improvements in fundamental functioning (read, only feature bloat.)

Are you calling VFP 6.0 proprietary? What about it is? It can be a COM server, supporting IDispatch and Apartment Model threading. It supports any ODBC data source, and as a COM client can access ADO. How is that propretary?

As far as moving away from 'buggy'and 'proprietary' software... I guess you will not be running Win 95 or NT any more?
