Well to insure data entry and eliminate the possibility of network errors
causing orphaned records I will be using foreign keys.

 

One (1) insert of a phone record and it is all over. 

 

Also disk space gets cheaper by the minute so the cost of disk space for a
foreign key means nothing. 

 

Also rebuilding of a damaged file would be easier with foreign keys and
finally Importing of data to a linked file seems a lot easier  

 

Binary links are better for flat db files not a server environment or
platform. 

 

Yours truly,
