I am using ORDA-based programming exclusively now; not using ‘classic’ 
methodology.
I am wondering what you are doing about creating ‘new’ entities within a 
listBox (related to some master record).

For example, classic scenario:
INVOICE - invoice table
INVDETAIL - invoice detail lines table
Invoice opened; INVDETAIL displayed in a listBox.

User needs to add invoice lines; BUT an ‘ADD BUTTON’ is clumsy, and still could 
result in erroneously-created BLANK entities in the INVDETAIL file.

Using a COLLECTION-based listBox makes it easy to let them do whatever (can 
create ‘blank’ entries in the collection so they can naturally enter within the 
listBox) and then ’save’ these lines to InvDetail when they save the invoice.
But that means managing the underlying InvDetail records.

So is there a better way? Do Transactions work with ORDA?

Thanks for any input.
