I have had problems with the onew() method when importing data into a business object. In some situations I disable the OnNew method or call it manually to do certain things.

Well I took out the setfldstate() in the onnew(). I have good things to report! My generated key value that will be used for the child records underneath is now correct. It use to be 1 vaule lower in the child records than in the parent.

Thanks for all of those who chimed in.
