I can't remember prior messages, but have you checked referential controls at both the .DBC and the DE level? In the 3.0 Debug window you can issue breakpoints. Hav you set one on DELETED("alias") in the child table? This should break open the code at the exact line that deletes the record (click on the middle bar to place a circle there -- this is an indication of a breakpoint. When the value on the right changes, the program will be SUSPENDed).
