What it does
A relational tree is a mechanism for browsing and managing multiple levels of relational data in a single hierarchical list. A single relational tree control can replace several browses and their various auxiliary controls. All data at all levels of the data hierarchy can be managed and updated using one set of auxiliary controls. All updating includes automated handling of relational integrity linkage.
