I just tested it, that's mostly true. The error is an illegal recursion call.

You'll need to write your own code that will delete the children prior to deleting the parent.

BTW, there is a messagebox in the rierror function that is remmed out. If you remove the asterisk, VFP will return a message regarding the reason your trigger failed.
