Master detail

I want to create a master - detail application…

but because my detail has so many fields i don’t want to edit or enter the data in a grid … but in a form…

so basicly what i want to do is have my master record… showing a grid wit my details… but than be able to edit the details in a single row form when i click on the icon…

any suggestions ?

Re: Master detail

use grid application by itself.

or tabbed application with the first tab: master, second tab: details(grid linking a single form) …

Re: Master detail

Tried that but is a bit strange…

I work with tabs in my first form…
i add a grid using master detail …
if i run the grid directly from the menu it shows an edit button…
when the grid is within the form the edit buton ( the pencil ) is gone…

any ideas ?

Re: Master detail

This is … by design. See this thread; i have the same problem and no answer.

Re: Master detail

Strange… no answer… How did you go around it ?

I mean it is so obvious. When you have a table with to many fields to edit in a grit you need a form to edit the data. But this data could be a detail to a master record.
