Hi Carl.

>I am getting frusturated by "Trigger failed" messages that don't tell me what the problem is.

It's actually pretty straightforward -- the trigger failed because (in the case of delete or update) it's found a record in a child table (or in a grandchild or somewhere else down the relationship tree) for the parent record and you've specified a restrict rule. A public array called gaErrors is created, and the 9th element of the first row has the name of the child table that the trigger failed on.
