Controlling automatic linking

You have an option to have the Component Designer automatically create default relationships between certain components. For example, when you add a temp table to a ProDataSet diagram, a "contains" relationship, linking the ProDataSet to the table, can be automatically created.

This option is enabled by default. To change the setting:

Select Window > Preferences.
In the left pane of the Preferences window, expand Progress OpenEdge and select Tools for Business Logic.
Click the Auto link components check box to toggle the option off or on.
