[RBASE-L] - RE: Data display in forms rbase 6.5++

[William Stacy]

I don't know about 6.5+, but in 4.5++, you can certainly see linked data in the related table whether used in the add or edit mode. Usually, however, the tables are linked via an autonum integer so in this case there usually is no matching data in the detail table (because the newly created linking integer has never been used before) until you get into the tiered region and start adding them. I use the add mode when ever I am entering a new row in the parent table and will be adding several detail rows to the child table in the same transaction (like when a new family of several people come in).  I use the edit mode whenever the parent table item already exists, and also whenever I will only be adding a single row to the child table (like when a single, or unmarried, person comes in). bill Larry Wilson wrote:  Mark:   If you are using the form with the enter command it will not display the matching rows in the related table.   If you are using the edit using formname then you should get the matching rows providing that your linking columns contain exactly the same data.         Larry    -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mark Kwoka Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 1:16 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Data display in forms rbase 6.5++ First of all I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!   Is there anyone that can help me with this? I have a form with 2 tables. The first one is a header and the second is a detail table with a region. The first table has a master lookup _expression_. When the form is used to enter data the master lookup checks for existing data and if found, displays it in the form. The problem is that it only displays the data in the first table or the header table. Is there a way to display the corresponding data in the detail table or the region?   Thanks Mark Kwoka **************************************************************************** Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Vera Wang Bridal House.
