Tom,
Unfortunately I don't have SQL server installed to test. I would something like this :

*method newparent
lparameters tcParent, tcChild, tcFieldList, tcValues, tcIdField
begin transaction
insert into (tcParent) (&tcFieldList) values (&tcVAlues)
if tableupdate(0,.f.,tcParent)
   insert into (tcChild) (&tcIdField) values (eval(tcParent+"."+tcIdField))
   if tableupdate(0,.f.,tcChild)
     end transaction
   else
     rollback
     return .f.
   endif
endif
