I have maste table "company"

idNo, companyName
and a child table "orders"

id, orderNo, compName
When I tried to add into order table, the "compName" will be automatically filled with "companyName" showing the master details in the add page. Is this possible? <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=9215&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />

Hi,
I'm not sure that I understand you correctly.

Where and when do you want to show master info?

What I mean is that,
If i am going to add data in the orders table, the following data will be added:
id, orderNo, compName
The "compName" is automatically filled up. No need to select it from dropdown list. Since it is a master table.
Is this possible?

Hi,
just set up master-detail relationships between Orders and company tables on the Datasource tables tab. Set up company tables as master, orders table as detail.

Make sure you haven't deleted the conmtents of the default for that field on the add screen, that's where the linkage value comes from.
