Try this:

retVal = oBusObj.ReadAdditional("ItemCode")
Set oItem = oSession.AsObject(oBusObj.GetChildHandle("ItemCode"))
retVal = oItem.ReadAdditional("ProductLine")
Set oProd = oSession.AsObject(oItem.GetChildHandle("ProductLine"))

Hi Kevin,

Thanks.  Unfortunately this generated the below error.  Also - just curious - what does the ReadAdditional method do?  I've seen it in the documentation but never used it previously when grabbing child handles.  Thanks again for the assistance.

retVal = oBusObj.ReadAdditional("ItemCode")
SET oItem = oSession.AsObject(oBusObj.GetChildHandle("ItemCode"))

retVal = oItem.ReadAdditional("ProductLine")  <---Error generated here
SET oProd = oSession.AsObject(oItem.GetChildHandle("ProductLine"))  

I don't have a technical explanation, but am in the habit of using ReadAdditional before getting a child handle object because it has helped in the past.

Make sure this does not run for comments / charge codes (which do not have a ProductLine).

If that isn't the answer, after the Set oItem... perhaps try an oItem.Find(sItemCode) to make sure you have the correct record open.

Got it thanks.  Let me try your suggestions.

 Kevin M Justin K  - Just an FYI guys.  The ReadAdditional() basically does a Find() with the values in the current record so that when  using the child handle, you'll be able to just do GetValue() calls for the record without having to do a Find().  If you are using the child handle for something not related to the current record then you wouldn't have to do this.

Hope that helps

Elliott
