Hi Bob.

You can always fire the business rules yourself calling the order item business object's CheckRules method then use the GetCount method to return the number of rules that were flagged. This is normally what you would want to do anyway since your child object would be row buffered and you wouldn't want to save any of them until the entire order is actually saved.
