One last point then - a little something more to chew on perhaps.
Data aware controls all belong to dataform controls.
In the case of an embedded data entry form the dataform controls on a
the form must all use the same, parent, datasource.
In the case of free standing forms, separate ODT files, they do not have
this restriction:
So you can have a Master dataform control that connects to one database.
A Slave dataform that connects to a different database.
As long as the two tables referenced have some common key the form can
handle the relation...*smile*...
Down side is that you can't create queries that join across these
multiple databases, but if you structure things properly you can achieve
something close.
Thank you! - that's a lot for me to chew on - certainly at my stage of
development. You have given me some new (for me) terms, which will
require a small detour to understand your points before getting back to
my problem. It's a detour well worth taking, because I can see you are
pointing me in the right direction, even if it's more a guidepost than a
cookbook.
Thanks again,
John
