>> PMFJI - There shouldn't be any reason you need to add the objects to the form. You can just define them in the DefineParticipatingEntities() method of your event and it will automatically instanciate them for you. Once it's done they'll disappear.

Ah. I see what you're trying to do. I assumed you had already set-up the relation in the class before instancing it. I haven't tried that but couldn't you pass the "parent" bizobj first in DefineParticipatingEntities() then your child object, then in the ExecuteEvent() method place the reference to the parent object in the child. The code would look something like:

DefineParticipatingEntities()
------------------------------
This.Add("Project", "ProjectsObj") && Parent
This.Add("Staff", "StaffObj") && Child


ExecuteEvent()
------------------------------
LOCAL loProject, loStaff

loProject = THIS.Get("Project")
loStaff = THIS.Get("Staff")

loStaff.cParentBizObj = "Project"

* Set any other parent/child properties like lNewChildOnNewParent, etc.

* Continue on with the rest of the processing



Maybe Kevin will jump in and clear this up.
