Why are reverse relationships bad?
Somebody mentioned to me that I have a lot of reverse relationships. I read somewhere they are bad, but I have not found a reason. Can anyone elaborate?
Our app has reverse relationships to act as max summary fields and push data back up to the parent record. I did this because most of my tables can really be a 1-to-1 relationship and I hate the look of the embedded reports. I like seeing items as individual fields. There are a few embedded reports, but these are to handle the few instances where I need to account for multiple names or items.
Thoughts on this are appreciated also.
