Although I have a background in procedural xBASE programming, I am still trying to get over the learning curve in VFP.
I am trying to build an application wherein I am working with two tables. One is VAC.DBF and the other is PRLINK.DBF.
PRLINK.DBF is a master employee file; thus, it has all the main employee information that I need to display, such as Fname & Lname.
Whereas VAC.DBF is a vacation records file and is related to PRLINK.DBF via Employee Nmbr. VAC basically just consists of dates and descriptions of hours earned and hours taken for vacation.
I have created a form with some combo boxes on it so that the user can select by employee nmbr or by employee name to see the vacation records for that employee. I know that I can programmatically create a BROWSE which will display the fields that I need to display from both VAC.DBF & PRLINK.DBF. But, I am trying hard to make the switch to the OOP paradigm, and it seems that a grid is more robust than a browse. However, in using the Grid Builder, it tells me, "Select a database or free table, and then select fields from ONE table.
Obviously, I need to display fields from BOTH tables.
Help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
