Thanks Arnuad,
however, that will work, but requires a bunch of 'work'.
Thanks to Keisuke, again :), his query component contains code that
pulls all relations ENDING (where the current field of parent table is
the many of a one to many relation). without having to troll through
the entire table structure.
So my final code looks like this:
For (all valid fields of parent table)
query hidden structure definition tables for related many
on current parent table field
if (related many exist)
clear selections on those tables
RELATE MANY
if (records in selection of any related many tables >0)
exit loop
$Dependancies_Exist := true
end if
else
GET RELATION PROPERTIES (Current field)
RELATE ONE
if Records in selection one table >0)
exit loop
$Dependancies_Exist := true
end if
end if
end for
$0:= $Dependancies_Exist
