    Hi, If ID is a primary key field in both tables, then why you need to store name again, just show it using display method from table 1 (master table) like custTable and salesTable, you just have to select customer account and it will automatically display the name from masters...

    What is your scenario:

    1. If you want to fetch the  data from table 1 with respect table 2 ID , Assume ID is the relation between two table.

    if you want to display in in same buffer

    you can write modify method to display

    select firstonly table1 wher t1.id = t2.id

    t2.name = t1.name

    of if you don't have bound control you can write display method in tabel and display in UI and do the cache

    same way

    purblic display EDt meth()

    {

      select firstonly table1 wher t1.id = t2.id

      return table1 .name  whatever.

    }

    Please need more info for deatils.

    use modifiedField() method on Table2 and write a switch case with example as under

    public void modifiedField(FieldId _fieldId)

    {

    super(_fieldId);

       switch (_fieldId)

       {

           case fieldNum(Table2Name, Id):

            Table2Name.NameField = "any value";

           break;

       }

    }

    Hi, you can achieve this with an edit method, also see Axaptapedia. Also, there are many examples of this in the application.
