Right now I am using the demo of the software to see if it can do what I need it to and how the end result will look ... below is what I am trying to do and have met with limited success thus far.

  1. I have a database with a bunch of competition records. I need it to group the results by state. I figured out how to do this. Now, I need to limit the result from each state to the top 3 results (IE, using state as a primary sorter, then sorting by points, but only displaying the top 3 points for each state.)
  2. I may require using 2 databases (1 for competitor details, and 1 for competitor results), is there a way i can corelate the information from 1 db to the other (IE, client ID = JOE2008 in client details db, in competition results, the same persons info is store under JOE2008 but there is no name stored. I would want to take the name field from the client details db and use that information in the competition results report.)
    Any help is appreciated. So far I love this software, and if it works for what I need I plan to buy it since this will make my life SOOOO much easier.

What you trying to build is possible though it all depends on your database.

  1. You can limit results to three top scores from each state. Most probably some custom coding is required (using BeforeProcessRowList event you can hide certain rows on the list page).
  2. I think you talking about two tables linked as Master-Details.
