Thanks for your suggestion, Jim.  I've only created a View once a very long
time ago in old RBase 4.5 - remember having lots of problems afterwards.
Could easily have been my fault, but is there any chance there is a way to
do this using existing table, report form?  If not, would I be able to keep
original report and point to the View instead, or would I need to recreate
from scratch?

Cathy,

 

One way is to create a view that includes both tables.  That way you have
access to all the columns in both tables for either sorting or limiting the
information you bring up in the report. The common column will be the
linking column.

Sorry for the simple question.  I've been happy with all my reports, tables,
forms, etc., so it has been many years since I actually designed one....and
have forgotton a whole lot.

 

I have a main table with data entries.  Have second Category table with 3
columns.  One of the Category columns is also included in main data table,
so can easily sort by that.  Now, however, I would like to sort a report
based on a Second Column in Category table without having to add that column
to my main data table.

 

Can't for the life of me remember how to do this - or even if I can.  Is
there some easy way?  I have 7.6.
