Getting information from related table

[tottijohn]

I have a layout form, A, with several fields like the following;

Restaurant Pax Rate Total

1.

2.

.

.

10.

Each field is individual, meaning there is a total of 40 fields for the above example.

The (restaurant field) is a dropdown valuelist from the next table, B. This table allows user to input the rate for each restaurant, so that the rate will be automatically fill-in when the user selects the restaurant in form A.

For single record, i can simply relate both tables (restaurant field) and use the (rate field)from table B in form A, but for this case, i can't since each (rate field) in form A is unique, for account purposes. Anyone can enlighten me on this?

Move your data into a related Items table - 10 related items for each record in A.

Thats awesome!

One more qn though, is it able to do a total of all the selected rates?

Yes, of course: a calculation field in the Main table (result is number) =

Sum ( MainDetails::Rate )

will do just that.

Note that for a printed report, you would use a summary field in the MainDetails table, and sub-summarize the report by Main.
