Another ‘basic’ stumbling block I’m afraid - hope I’m not making the support here too weary with my simple questions.
How do I show a dataprovider on a form where there is no relationship?
Example:
I have a Form based on my Component table. I have a library list in my Factors table. There is no logical relationship between them - in fact the library is simply an ID and 10 text fields with 1 record - no way to link it to the Component table anyway.
I need to show each of those 10 columns in a seperate field on the form.
Just put the form based on the Factors table in an unrelated tab panel on the main form (based on Component table).
If you want to show a list of factors records set the factors form to table view if you just want to show 1 factor record set the form to record view. If you set the tab panel to have no borders and to be transparent you won’t even notice that when in browse mode, it will just look like the factors fields are laying on the main form.

Thanks Nicola - that works a treat! - Just a bit un-intuitive - but so much is in Servoy - until you reach the ‘inner sanctum’ of knowledge (or so I’m told). Just worried I’ll have no hair left by then
