have you looked at using a ListView for the PRODPART  table?  I do all
sorts of neat stuff using ListViews, it's my favorite 7.6/v8 feature!
and if I don't need to edit data directly in the main form and you want
to control data displayed or create features that allow your user to
create their own filters without knowing a bit of programming, plus
allow them to sort the data how they need it; these are great! and if a
ListView record requires some updating, or display a very detailed
information of record, I add a double click eep to open a edit form to
modify or view the data.  I also found a form using ListViews instead of
slave tables loads faster. 

 

 

Have a Fabulous Day!

        I have made a DBGRID that is connecting my open orders to my
available inventory.  The grid is working but I want to enhance it a
little.  With the main table I can limit the information based on
whether the order has shipped and the product line.  

         

        What I want to do is limit the connecting table information
(PRODPART) to just the parts that will be shipped (not all the parts
that make up the product). There is a column in this table that has
either a 'y' or a 'n' for shipping.  Since the driving table does not
have this column in it, how would I limit the rows?  

         

        I have read the PDF files and looked at the sample databases but
find nothing about DBgrids to meet this condition.  If there is a file
with detailed information about grids, I will be happy to investigate
that.
