For the moment, I'm handling the relationships manually (mimicking the methods 
that EO usually uses for the relationships so that the code should work 
similarly, but the relationships are just not part of the model). This seems to 
be working at the moment and it will give me time to reexamine the model and 
some of the underlying bits to see which direction I can run and how far (I'm 
not so fast as I used to be ... come to think of it, when I was faster, I 
didn't know which direction to run so I kept running into bugs there too)

Well, thanks for help on direction to run... I appreciate it.
