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

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;

}

}

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.

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...
