Here is the issue...

If you go back to what he was doing this insert doesn't work..

INSERT INTO inno3(PK_Col, Child_Col) VALUES (NULL,1)

He was trying to use a Primary key as his foreign key to inno2, (in this 
example of what he was doing). You can't have a null PK as we all know. IT 
wasn't the foreign key part that was hanging him up..

I think we were on two different tracks and that could have been my fault.
