And Prosperity!

Jan, look at creating a view. You can create it via the view builder dialog or via the "CREATE VIEW" command. Essentially views are ways of looking at related data, in different tables, selecting only the fields you want from each, and presenting them as one flat file. The source to you grid can be a view the same as a table.

to get gthe builder: On your project's data tab, drill down to "Local Views", right-click and select new.
