I have two tables that hold the data, one table holds the incedent data and the other holds the employees data. I have linked to two tables at the INCEDENT.DRIVERID to the EMPLOYEE.ID, and the INCEDENT.ATTENDEMT1ID to the EMPLOYEE.ID. what I would like to do is in the detail section is to show the EMPLOYEE.LASTNAME for the driver and for the attendent1 I have tried the replace function without any luck. any help is appreciated, thanks, Phillipg
