Scenario: I have 3 data-blocks: a, b, c.

data-block a has 3 items: customer_number, customer_name, account_id

Dataflow: In data-block a, the user enters a customer_number. This will automatically populate items customer_name and account_id (if the account_id already exists in the database) as well as the other two data-blocks (b and c). HOWEVER, if the account_id doesn't already exist in the database, the user must enter one, and once it's entered it's implicitly saved, and the next time the user logs in the account_id will already be in the database.

Question: How do I implement this logic? What kind of triggers should I use?

Thank you.

Create a msater-detail form based on 'a' and 'b'. When you are happy with its basic operations , then create a block ofr 'c' and a new 'relations' for it and do further testing. Only after you have got these three blocks and two relations working should you start adding your own code.

once it's entered it's implicitly saved

Why "implicitly" (by the way, what do you call "implicit saving")? Let user commit changes, because soon you might come back asking how to delete unwanted implicitly saved records from the database.
