For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.

| E_CAT_DEFN_NO_RELATIONSHIP_EXISTS | [C++] 0x88980045 [Visual Basic] &H88980045 |

Remarks
[Visual Basic] The recordset used for the pRSRelatedCategories parameter should be obtained from the RelatedCategories property.
[C++] The recordset used for the pRSRelatedCategories parameter should be obtained from the get_RelatedCategories method.
This method will update the value of the RelationshipDescription field for the current language of the catalog.
When calling this method on an inherited product in a virtual catalog, the method will have no effect if the relationship is inherited from a base catalog. If the relationship was added in the virtual catalog, changes will be updated. Inherited hierarchy and relationship links cannot be removed or changed in inherited categories. To modify inherited relationships, use a Category object obtained from the base Catalog object.
The input recordset should not contain any rows that are inherited relationships. Such rows must be removed from the recordset first if they exist, as they may be returned by the RelatedCategories method.
