E_CAT_DEFN_NO_RELATIONSHIP_EXISTS	[C#] 0x88980045 [Visual Basic .NET] &H88980045	The relationship that you specified either does not exist or is a inherited relationship (and therefore cannot be edited).

Remarks

The recordset used for the pRSRelatedProducts parameter should be obtained from the get_RelatedProducts method.

Only the RelationshipDescription field should be updated. Other changes should be made by using the RemoveRelationshipToProduct and AddRelationshipToProduct methods.

You can update multiple records in the same call to this method.

When calling this method on an inherited category 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.
