Thanks for the translation John.

Francisco,
you have 2 options... you can man handle this and force one bizobj to update both tables. This would mean using a lot of DODEFAULT() calls in framework methods for add/edit/delete action and than manually handling the second table yourself either by your all own code or by changing the initialselectedalias after a DODEFAULT and recursively calling the same method again. In my opinion this is NOT a good way to handle this.

The better option is really to setup 2 bizobjs, one for each table that needs updated, then setup a parent-child relationship between the two. I know this method can seem a little scary when your new to the framework because it feels like your making it twice as hard to manage. But never fear, in the long run this is truly the better way to go. Plus too, the business object builder in the current version of the framework makes setting up parent-child bizobjs so much easier nowadays. Check out page 73 of the devguide.doc for details.


Hey Kevin - I went looking in projmgr app for an example of parent-child bizobjs to show Francisco & couldnt find one.... yeah it's been awhile, but I could of sworn you had another example of this somewhere for us? Or am I imagining things again?
