This makes designing a forms dataenvironment difficult, esp. when navigating through the master table when there is related (child) data on page 1+n of a multi page form.

Interesting question. I would like to know what Calvin says about this as I will be getting an Oracle server shoved down my throat here in about a month and was tasked with getting VFP to interface with it. Let me know via email or a reply here please..
