Alternatives to Master and Slave Terminology Redux

Dear Vixens and Reynards:

I realise that it is Friday afternoon, but I work then, too.

I really do want some terminology that is accurate, minimally

offensive, and that does not sound stupid.

Have another look at my use case:

2) The second one is puzzling me. I have forms with an (often)

key portion (master) and a non-key portion (slave). "key" and

"non-key" are awkward and do not communicate well to a non-IT

person. "parent" and "child" is not accurate. What do you suggest?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
