I??m very new with fast Reports, and I have a table with reservations, in this table I have a field named userID , and have another users table with the fields userID and UserFullName, then what I need is that the report show the UserFullName field.
How can I do that?

    In the table 1 I have a structure like this:
    orderID --> AutoNumeric
    orderDate -->Date
    userID --> Numeric (The user asigned to this order)
    ......

    In the table 2 I have a structure like this:
    userID --> Numeric
    userFullName -> String (The User Full Name)
    ........

    Well, that I need is that in the Orders Report (Table 1) appears the user Full Name as a String instead of its numeric value

    Thanks

    are you talking about using a lookup on the fr dialog form or just having the data from the 2 tables available in the report?

    this will depend upon the external data linkage relationship of the tables that are connect to the frxdbdatasets, or if using internal frxdataengine controls, the linkage you set up between tables/queries. You can also use a joined query to retreive all data fields required. Suggest you read and study the examples in the user manual and in the demos\main\ demo.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
