I’m using a reference table that contains Bios/Descriptions. The table references an ID field in my primary dataset. The primary data set stores first and last names in separate fields, and I combined these with a hook to create a ‘fullname’ field. All of this works fine.
However, I can’t use my calculated field in the reference table, how do I accomplish this?
I want to accomplish what amounts to an inner join. But in addition, I want to concatenate two fields in the primary table and for display in the reference table. e.g. Table 1 (Reference) columns = MID, Description. Table 2 (Primary) columns = ID, Last Name, First Name.
I want to Join Table 1 to Table 2 where MID = ID. In addition I want the fields Last Name and First Name to be combined into a new field called ‘fullName’. I want to be able to assign fullname to text box ‘text’ properties.
