pulling groups of data forward from one database to another
In many e-commerce applications, a group of related data items about a customer get passed from one form to the next in a chain of transactions. Here is an example of the kind of process I am working on. An admission form feeds a database of admission applications. Now I want to send a quick response back to one of the applicants. I have a second form called a response memo, that will feed a database of response memos. Once I am in the response memo form, and I import an applicant's name using a pick list pointed at the admission applications database, I want the form to insert several other pieces of information from that applicant's record into the new response memo form. I know how I would do this in Foxpro, but I don't see any similar controls in Zoho (yet). Any suggestions or workarounds? Perhaps I was not looking carefully enough. Thanks, Dennis Rivers
