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

    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.

    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.
