   Ack! Relation objects were one of the best new things with 4.0. Much less coding, you can do delightful things to turn them on & off programmatically (star query forms are a breeze), and 100% easier to maintain than the hand written code in 2.0 or the designer generated code in 3.0. Stick to your guns!
