With further investigation, the error seems to be related to foreign keys.
Here is one scenario that causes the error:
The table in question is a "Person" table.
We have a phone call table, with fk references to person, for the caller and recipient.
We also have a sales lead table, with fk references to person, for acct manager and sales rep.
With 2 references from each table we receive the "Too Complex Error".
If we remove any one of the 4 fk references (so that there are 2 from one table and 1 from the other) the "to complex" error goes away.
We also added a third fk reference to one of the tables, so that there is 3 from one table and 1 from the other. This also caused the error.
