Thanks for all the info! My responses are below. I really appreciate it. Now we've got a new version of Mere Mortals to bone up on!

A grid would have been my preferred method but the client would have none of that! Each child record has a description and an amount. If I need extra pages, I add them. The interface works great but obviously the data isn't getting saved.

That's right.

Ok, I'll try this.

>The only reason the child biz obj's save won't work, is that the parent calls the child's IsChanged(), which checks to see if anything in the child obj's InitialSelectedAlias has been changed. Since you haven't added anything to the child obj's view yet, it will return .F. and the Save() will never be called. This is why you were never seeing the child obj's Save() fire in your original post.

>>Yup everything is set ok. I think my biggest problem here is that I don't know where to put code to save records on the secondary bizobj. I understand that its not being saved because I'm using arrays to enter in the data and of course the system wouldn't know that I want to save this data in separate records in the 2nd table. Do you know the best place to put the code to convert the array to records I can insert? I tried in the postsave of the primary bizobj but that didn't work. Can I put it in the save of the 2ndary bizobj even tho' no record is being directly saved from the data on the form?
