Robin, I would suggest to create a vendor form to fetch records from external source, you will have to write your own ardbc plugin (c or java and you must implement GetListEntryWithFields in plugin). Once vendor form is in place , write an active link that executes on enter and performs set field action. For active link set field action, read the data from this vendor form and select option to display list for multiple record match.
