I just upgraded to Arc10 & am having a hard time dealing w/ relationships.  Can someone help me w/ the following:

1.  how to load data into Many-Many relationships? (i can do it via Access or SQL, but that's hardly a solution)
2.  how to 'relate' a feature in ArcMap - i've got a 'parent' selected, drill down to the relationship - it seems like you used to be able to 'add related' or something.

just having a hard time.

Thanks!!

You would use the "Add Selected" command in the Editor window to relate objects in a M-M rel class. Here is a Help topic that walks you through it: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//004t0000000m000000.htm

Another method that I use when trying to batch load a lot of records in an attributed rel class is Data Interoperability Extension. It has the ability to read and write to attr rel classes using the geodatabase reader. Here is an overview of the Data Interop Ext: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//004m00000003000000.htm
