SYMPTOMS
========
After running the Referential Integrity (RI) Builder and selecting Cascade in
the "Rules for Deleting" tab, you may receive a 'Trigger Failed' error message
when you attempt to delete a record.
CAUSE

Options on the Tools menu, click the General tab in the Options dialog box, and
clear the dBase Compatibility check box.
There is currently no way to have dBASE compatibility ON and make deletes with
referential integrity.
