madman411 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I've created a database that automatically complies an invoice for time worked. I'm loving how it's working. When trying to generate a report I need the report to include two sets of information (from two different tables), ideally in two separate parts: - TimeCard table - Reimbursements table Both tables are linked to a primary table called Invoicing by the InvoiceID. Creating a report that displays the information individually is easy - I select either the TimeCard or Reimbursements table the Layout Setup window, set to view as list, place the desired fields within the body part setup, and bam. Is there a way to do this without the use of a portal to display the second set of information? Ideally the report resizes itself based on how much related data is being displayed. I don't want to account for 10 portal rows to display related reimbursements if there are no reimbursements. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 This is a well-known problem. The easy solution is to use a portal (as you did) and set it to slide up. That will remove any unused portal rows. The "correct" solution is to use a printing table, where both TimeCards and Reimbursements will be sibling records. You can populate such table either by importing or using a "virtual list". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
