Hi Mike,
It was pointed out to me that the Inventory tabled titled 'I/C Items Finder (read/only)' can be used for displaying information from all of the IC Items table.
But this doesn't solve your initial question for using Insert Related Data to get the vendor name. In order to do this, you will need to create a second view based on the AP vendor master table to include in your GV workspace, with just the vendor number and name fields. Ensure that the vendor number field has the same column title as your Inventory view. Then in your Inventory view, use a Calculated Column to GetLinkedValue from the AP vendor.
If you are using GridView 9.0F (the current version), this is much easier to do, because when you create a new calculated column, the other views in a workspace are listed in an 'External references' section, and this will do the formula syntax for you. This feature is demonstrated in the New Release video for GridView 9.0F.
