Newbie question alert ;-)

I am trying to create a simple parent/child relationship on a data-entry form.
Copying the OrderEntry form of the Tastrade example I was able to do this with my tables. However, I cant figure out how to do this with views of the tables (I was advised that I should use use views throughout to facilitate later upscaling the database to a server).

Should I be using a view of the parent table AND a view of the child table in the dataenvironment, or should I be using one view of the two tables combined??? Since views dont have indexes like tables, how do I specify the relationship between the parent/child views???

I've tried both approaches with no success - the fields of the parent view appear, but no child records are displayed and I cant add another :-(

What should I put in the 'Linkmaster', 'childorder', etc methods of the child grid???

Any suggestions/guidance welcome

Martin
