I probably am not posting this in the right forum as this could go many different ways. I am just looking for ideas (not necessarily specifics) or whether anyone has seen something similar to this.  I need to be able to enter multiple search and rescue entries for a given search and rescue grid square queried, clicked, or rolled over in the flex viewer.  ArcGIS Server Web (Flex) users need to be able to see the grid square status (currently using red/green/amber symbology for that) and be able to see the statistics for each grid square (using a customized identify at the moment).  That was easy until they wanted to be able to tie multiple detailed rescue info to each grid square (only one attribute per square).  Keep in mind that I cannot just use points for the rescue incidents because I won't have addresses for  many of them and many of these places out in the swamp do not have addresses to start with, nor will all search and rescue teams have gps.  This seems like a custom database application problem to me or perhaps....  Do I need to use something like an identify widget that would support relates and calculate the totals?  Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them.  Thanks!

I just noticed that the great Robert Scheitlin 🙂 has released a relate widget for Flex 2, which sadly I cannot use (yet) because it will probably take us months to port all of our tools to Flex 2.  It looks like it would be possible to take something like that and have it calculate on the click event the totals from the related items.

Sounds like all you really need is a custom Identify that supports related entries. Already been made and posted in the gallery so you're good to go as long as you set it up right in ArcMap in your .mxd.
