Query for Related Records on Related List

Having some trouble writing a query for my relationship. I have a custom table called "u_ppi_database". Records on this table can generate a

"REQUEST" which I have populating on the form as shown below. The field on request is "number" and my custom field is "u_request_number". I am trying to get a

related list that shows the request in that field above. Everything I try either shows ALL requests or none at all.

CUSTOM TABLE

Nicholas,



Do you have any field on the Requests table which captures the number or name of this record (Record from u_ppi_database) ? You need a tag on the request number with this record to populate. If you don't have one , then create and try.


I do not and was hoping to avoid that. Does it not work with the reference field on the custom table comparing against the number field on request?

Hey Nicholas,



Create a custom field in the "u_ppi_database" and set the field type as "reference" to the request table. Add some data in the u_ppi_database table, in this way you will be able to add the related list in the request table. But not in the custom table, i think.


Thanks, I already have the field as shown in the first screen shot but I need the related list on the custom table not the Request table. I was hoping it could take that field and match it to the Number field on the request table.
