cascade update explanation

If I have a form with a Parent table attached to a child table (many to
one), I want to delete the child when the parent is deleted, so I use
cascade delete. When would I use cascade update and why would I use it.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks Rick,

This doesn't mean that if I delete a child record, it will delete the
parent, correct?

Not at all. ALL cascading is "downhill only" meaning parent to child.
