Trigger sounds like it.

If I make IID and IPROD the primary keys then there's nothing stopping
there being both an "active" and an "inactive" row for a single item
number - thus duplicate item numbers in the file.
If I then add to the complexity by leaving those the primary key but then
adding a unique constraint on item number, there's still nothing stopping
a new row from appearing in the child for an inactive item number.
All that will happen in the alternative is that the child file will know
that item is now inactive.

Looks like an insert trigger on the child, which verifies that the active
record code in the parent is active, will have to be the solution.
