Variables and fields

Hi.

I have a database with several tables that are linked, and need to display values of some fields from these various tables onto a particular layout.

If the layout I am on is the same as the one that contains the field value I wish to display, then the value is correct, yet making reference to fields on layouts whose table is one other than the field being displayed then I get nothing or zero.

I was thinking of setting a global variable that could pick up the value of the other table's field but dont know if it's possible to display a global variable directly onto a layout.

Anybody got an idea how I could do this?

Thanks in advance.

Greg

It will be faster to see what's you're doing incorrectly if you post your file (save as clone and zip).

You are probably selecting a field in another table and not specifying the correct context.
