Yes Ed. There's one bizobj for both the parent and child tables. But there I still haev two probelms: 1. I may or may not have one or more children. So automatic child creation should not be used. 2. Which approach to choose for passing the child information (potentially more than one child). Should I go with this idea of assigning a bizobj attribute?
