March 10, 200421 yr Apple has a move of the relationship graph http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/filemaker/graphview.html And one for multiple windows http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/filemaker/multipleviews.html Version: v7.x Platform: Mac OS X Panther
March 11, 200421 yr Much has been made of the relationship graph, table occurrences, the over-riding importance of context, there are no relationships in the old sense, etc. I tried to explore this a little bit: Create two sets of parent-child relationships. In one, create related child records, delete related child records optons are turned on. These relations are established in an interface file, using table occurrences from the data file. The data file does not have cascading delete turned on. In the second pair of table occurrences in the interface file, there is a parent child relationship but no create/delete. Go to layout based on second table occurrence group. Delete parent record. Child records are deleted. Now, this makes sense to me, but it also says that context is not quite as all-powerful as it has been described. Or at least what I thought I was hearing.
