>That's what I was looking for. I already had the presavehook of each child set to replace the foreign key. So that was not a problem. The code in the deactivate did the trick, the parent gets saved before they can leave that page. Now one more thing, is there a simple way to have the focus stay on the detail page once the record is saved instead of going back to page 1 of the pageframe.

Bill,

There are some custom properties on the form that dictates which page to go to when a save or cancel is run. Activate the form in design mode and go to properties. On the other tab, scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the list of properties.
