    What do you mean by can putt data from Extender Windows but what about Extender Form?

    Some form/window understanding wrt dexterity.

    > Dexterity allows you to define your application’s interface, through the use of forms and windows.

    > A form groups related objects and resources, such as windows, menus, scripts and tables, that function together for a common purpose.

    >A window is the main method of communication between the user and your application.

    >The first window is considered the form’s main window.

    So if you can pull data for windows then it means you are doing it for form too.

    what I means is how to get Extender Form data in report writer.

    example:

    I have an Extender Form that keep record of transporter information for every SOP Invoice:

    EXTENDER WINDOWS

    Windows ID: SOP TRANSPORTER

    Key Fields: SOP Number

    Field 1: TRANSPORTER ID (Lookup to Extender Form TRANSPORTER)

    Field 2: VEHICLE NUMBER

    Field 3: REMARKS

    and also 

    EXTENDER FORM

    Form ID: TRANSPORTER

    ID Field Prompt: TRANSPORTER ID

    Description Prompt: NAME

    When printing SOP invoice, I can get the TRANSPORTER ID, VEHICLE NUMBER and REMARKS using RW function rw_TableHeaderString

    But, how do I get TRANSPORTER NAME from the Extender Form?

    Hope above is clear.

    Thanks.

    data can be read from 3rd party tables if you know dexterity. Do you have experience in dexterity coding?
