>>>My solution is to have the location information in the input view, but in the parent.presavehook(), i would run a method to update the parent foreign key. In this method, I would check if the foreign key is empty. If so, check if the entered location is in the location table, if so update the foreign key, if not add a record and replace all fields, then update the foreign key. I still have the parent child relationship between the views and have both save normally.

>>So if you add a record for the entered location, does it actually end up getting saved twice be the time Save() is done? And we're talking 1 bizobj with multiple views in it right? Maybe two bizobjs would serve you better here?

I am using two business objects. The parent contains information from both tables but only updates the parent table. The child business object view is only used for adding new records, so the child information only gets saved once.

I'm still working on what happens if they change the location information.

Thanks
