Answer 1

You have a master table : For eg: Code Type
with some values
like
Fields:CODE_TYPE(Primary key *)                CODE_DESC
          ENCL                                      Enclosure
          NACO                                      Nature of concern
          PORT                                      Port code
Another detail table with
Fields:
CODTYP(#)  CODE ()      CODDESC  
ENCL           2             Insurance Certificate
ENCL           3            Quality Certificate
ENCL           4            SAARC Preferential Trade Agreement
Fields CODTYP also has foreign key(#) reference
to first table Code type(Check table)
You deleted CODE_TYPE: ENCL from the first table:  Code Type
The system will allow this type of deletion.
But when you try to add a new entry with codtyp = 'ENCL'
Next time it will raise error message saying that value doesnot exit in check table.
If you want to have a check whether its used in details table at master table entry deletion time, you may have to write some extra form in deletion event in TMG.
