June 8, 200421 yr Hi Having trouble with a layout.... I need to show and make editable the data some related tables. I have Week which contains some Days which contain some Sessions. Day has a number of SessionIDs and Week has some DayIDs. Since I am using repeating values, I can get the sessionID's listed easily, but cannot pull all the other info out ... how do I get the repeating fields out? eq Day::Session::StartTime Am I doing this the wrong way??? Thanks Adam.
June 8, 200421 yr Using repeating fields. Repeating fields violate what is called the first normal form in relational database design. A repeating field should be replaced by a related table.
June 8, 200421 yr Once you place a related repeating field on your layout, you can choose "Format" > "Field Format..." to show its repeats.
June 8, 200421 yr Author Well, I solved this problem by using A Portal, which has in turn caused more problems.... think Ralph is right, I should adhere to db design like I was taught at college!! Hmmm might need to go back .... Thanks anyway.
