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:

>This.Add("Staff", "StaffObj") && Child

Paul,
I don't think so. I think the cParent needs to be set before instantiation since there are linking properties for each bizobj.
Hope I hear from Kevin soon.
Thanks
Rex
