>>>>>Does anyone have or know of a delete button class which will allow me to delete child records of the parent? I realized (rather late I'm afraid) that the delete button I'm using assumes I want to delete for the master alias, and pays no attention to the children.

The other parts seem to be working, but the delete is really insufficient.

I currently don't have a ready class for that so only the outline here.
