>Pull multiple record sets. One of the parent and another for the child.

That in a very basic way addresses getting the data. However, it does not address the crud operations. Also, I don't need components to grab data. Components serve an important function of providing an abstraction layer for these operations. To a large degree, objects like ADO provide a satisfactory abstraction layer. Still, there are other operations that need to be contended with. For example, how do you handle:

1. Conflict resolution
2. Error Trapping and Handling when something goes wrong
3. New data and their impact on parent/child relationships
4. Transactions
5. RI

My point in all of this Craig is that this is not a trivial problem. For sure, it is not a problem that can be dished off in a one sentence reply.

No need to reply if Evan takes me up on the offer to do a 2-hour presentation on this in the chat room.

Best,
