Using Windows 6.5++ Ver 1.866xRT03 Is there any way to order rows
in a single table form with a region based on a column in another table.
Here is what I have:

Company table
cid integer  - Unique id
cname (company name text 30)
...
Sales table
cid  integer
...
I need to edit data in the sales table only -
Edit form is single table based on the sales table and I would like to
order by cname,  I would rather not add the column to the sales table.


Gary,

Yes, you CAN!

01.     Copy that form and use the Company as Master Table.

02.     In Form Designer, Add Sales table as Slave table and then
        set Sales as your current table.
        Create a region with everything based on Sales table.

        Note: You don't need to locate any field or anything related to
        Company table, etc. on that form.
03.     EDIT USING SalesData +
        ARRANGE Sales BY OrderDate ASC +
        ORDER BY CName
        That will give the results you need.

        All records will be sorted by CName (table=Company)
        along with the OrderDate (table=Sales).
        or simply:

        EDIT USING SalesData ORDER BY CName

Hope that helps!

Very Best R:egards,
