Good morning Malkie. I'm assuming that the master information data changes as you import new sets of records, ie. telephone book entries, and that the problem is that as the MI record changes your other panel has no way of knowing it. If we can assume that the link is a one:one link (ie. John Doe at 11 Maple St versus all John Doe's) then I would think you would use a formula in the display to simply show the data from the linked record; the formula would go through the link. If it's not a one-to-one link then it's another story.
