Yes,

Reading the title of this thread first and about the object link of ControlSource in the editing form second .
My question was about the child object reference.

I understand now you don't use object reference on childs but a cursor and editing objects are standard VFP objects. ( No ADO on the client side )

As a rule in my applications I always set a relation table in the middle of any relation. ( n to n ) so I think this tool is not a tool for me .

May be I am wrong ?

Tks.
