I want to have a form with tabpanels on them. There is no relationship between them! How (can) I do that? ---

You can use the method Servoy used in the CRM demo. Add a column to the tables you want to put in the tabpanels filled with a default value (like ‘1’). Create a application-table with only 1 row that also have a column with that default value. Create a relationships and you are in business. I know it’s a pain but this seems to be the only way. I only wish we could create relationships from globals to tables as well. That way we could take get rid of the application-table method. ---

Yes, this is the FM way and I did this already. Don’t like it though… Certainly not for this purpose. Just show a table/form on a non-related-tab. ---

What’s the context between your main form and your unrelated tab? side notes: some things we’re giving thoughts for future releases - enter literal values directly in the lefthand key of a relation - attachment of multiple forms to one main form in a “html frame”-like style. ---

That sounds like more! What I want to be able to do, I think that is what you are looking for, place overviews of different data on top of a general form. Navigation between these overviews would go via tabs. Example: I would have a form with customers and a tab on that form that would hold forms for all agenda items and all orders etc. Not specifically related to that client… ---
