I'm sure I'm being a little "foggy-headed" today, but can you tell me how to access GridView's new "composite table" feature in version 8.0B?

Hi Ralph Allan,

There should be a "composite table" choice from the list of available modules. Since I'm not in the office, I can't confirm the name of the table. However, it is chosen at the same level as the module (Receivables, Payables etc).

Found it! Thank you.

(BTW, could not find it in the Help index.)

Hi Ralph,

You are right that the "composite dictionary" is not mentioned in the Help File. The Release note mentions the following:

? A composite table ?Adagio {Composite Tables 6.8B}? is installed with this version of GridView. This table can be used to define views that incorporate fields from related tables. For example, there is a table (SR Trans w Cust, Items) that was defined using the Sales Analysis transactions file with fields from the A/R Customer and I/C Item master. This would make it possible to define a Sales Report that included the Customer Name and Item Description.
? Added 3 new views to illustrate use of composite tables: AR Transactions with Customer Name.gv, GL Posted Transactions w Account Description.gv, and AP Transactions with Vendor Name.gv.

I suppose our thinking was that it was "just another table" and we did not give it the press that it deserves.
