Hmmm. It's been a while since I've actually tried to use it (may have been as far back as VFP 3.0) but I do recall not being able to do any table updates (i.e. cascading deletes, inserts, updates, sum totals) from an RI generated trigger. Could have been my lack of understanding of the tool's capabilities but I recall SQL Server and Oracle being fully capable of using an update trigger.
