I am working with the Dabo Biz & DB classes directly.

Not using the UI.

Yes. You are right in the sense whether in Dabo or in VFP, we have to

select the record we want (but that's all).

I just wanted to say that once a record is selected, append/update/delete

for all the related tables is taken care of by the CA without any extra

programming (except the sql query, non-update fields etc.).

As I understand from you answer, append & update are dealt with by Dabo UI

(except delete) in the same way as VFP CA.

Pl. reply whether I get it right.

If so, I might choose the entire Dabo framework (not just biz & db) for my

next project.
