The data from impenh_.103 is not displayed through a script, it's a live connection through the relationship called Enhanced Voter File, defined in the names file. The key fields are called Record Number in the names file and SOURCEID in impenh. So moving data from impenh_.103 to the Vot/Dem screen isn't a process, you don't need to call a script to make it happen. If there is a record in impenh with a matching field name it will be displayed in the Vot/Dem screen. As background, there is a script in impenh called Import New List which imports the data from an external file to impenh_.103 > >I'm trying to figure out what script or mechanism tells Ebase when to show >>the fields in the "Vote/Dem" screen, vs the plain grey box. >>How does Ebase know when there is data to display?
