From some reason the Child fields are disabled on Add mode, but are fine in Edit mode. Somehow before it worked fine.  In the Child object the IncludeInFormAdd is True and in the form level the IncludeInFormAddType is DetermainedByBusinessObject. This is just an exercise for me to learn the SF, but the child and the parent should be saved at the same time. Using SF 1.6.5.1

In this case, you could never add a new record because as soon as you create new Orders record the new row will be fitlered out (this is standard ADO.NET).  You need to turn off the filter, allow the foreign key to be set (in this example), then you could apply a filter that would include the new record. 

Bottom line, set the ChildAutoFilterOption to Off on the CustomersBO1 instance, run the app again, click add, and it will work.

That property really creates a lot of confusion after searching into the WinForms section. Me and Edhy were looking at this problem and made the same assumption of using the ChildAutoFilterOption property as MatchCurrentRow. In this thread you calrify it: http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic16681-6-1.aspx?Highlight=ChildAutoFilterOption

What else can disabled the child fields in Add mode. In the parent BO the ChildAutoFilterOption is Off. In the project I created using your sample data it was fixed but not on my project.  When I navigate the child is shown and I can edit the parent and the child as well.

Yes I fighting this and I  don't give up on it. This is strange since in the maintenance form the ChildAutoFilterOption is really OFF 100% this time. From the toolStrip New button I don't get it to work, but here is how in this form works for now  : Added a button with the following code:
 
  Me.MemberInfoBO1.Add()
  Me.AddressMemBO1.Add()
 
Then the child fields are enabled. If I use only this code:
Me.Add()
 
Then the child fields are disabled. 
 
I also noticed if I don't check the ChildBO.Count > 0 it will crash as well in case there are 0 records when I run it first. When I use the below code in the Navigated method then it is fixed.
 
BusinessLayerException
  The CurrentRow for table '[dbo].[AddressMem]' could not be evaluated because the CurrentRowIndex is out of range. 
Business object record count: 0.  CurrentRowIndex: -1.

While this field is casing it:
  Return CType(Me.CurrentRow.Item("MemberInfo_PK"), System.Int32)
 
Navigated method:
If Me.MemberInfoBO1.Count > 0 Then
      Me.AddressMemBO1.FillByParentPrimaryKey(Me.MemberInfoBO1.MemberInfo_PK)
End If
 
Then I tried to create the same form but based on the SF Standard form class and added the TootStrip and the GradientFormHeader and used again the same BOs and this form works just fine. When I click the New button, the child fields are enabled. Also when I run the form when there are 0 records It does not crash on me even though I don't check If Me.MemberInfoBO1.Count > 0 as shown above. I added that code anyway for other situations when I need to delete the parent and child.
 
Obviously something is happening with the maintenance form. Are there any known issues with this form? Since still that form does not work for me using the ToolStrip and it worked on your test data.

Just FYI, the funny thing you are fighting here, and if you look at the code, you will see that there is no such thing as a MaintenanceForm in SF.  The MaintenanceForm is just a template that comes with the framework the places a MaintenanceFormToolstrip on the form.  So if you are using a MaintenanceForm, you are actually using a StandardForm.  So this would alude to a configuration or code problem within your application.  Just thought this might point you in the right direction.

I fixed the Fire Walls issue on the server level so it is possible to download the zip files. I understand where you are coming from, but the properly which is responsible to disable the child field is OFF. Even though I made it to work in a different way, I would like to understand what else can cause this problem again.  I am still learning SF and .Net so I can easily over look something simple. Also please let me know when you Save at least one record if you see any delay in the Save mode - just curious.

Thanks,

Doron

I looked at your sample...and as I mentioned on a previous post, we do not have MaintenanceFormClass.  Your problem is actually very simple.  First, when you setup a test environment, make sure that you have the same code in both places...in this case you didn't (i.e. The Navigated event of the Members BO).

In order to make the form1 work, you will need to do the following:

1. Set the IncludeInFormAdd property to True on the Address BO (it was not set)
2. It would be a good idea to set the ParentBusinessObject on the address to the member (this is not the problem, but if you want SF to manage the foreign keys for you, you will want to do this)
3. And here is your problem...REMOVE THE FILL CODE in the navigated event of the Members BO.  If you comment out this code, it works great.  The problem is that your code isn't taking into account a new record, etc.  If you want to have this type of Fill logic inside the navigated event, then you will want to be sure to test on new records, etc.  For example,
   
   
   If MembersBO.CurrentRow.RowState = Added Then
       '-- DON'T DO ANYTHING!
   End If

If I remove the code found in the navigated method then when I click Next, Previous etc.. the child record will not be shown. Unless you have other suggestions to show the child record the below code works now:

Did run the form one time? Just worndered if you saved one record.
