I like how the demo is created and i am trying to figure out how it was done.

I want to be able to link modules (not just one to many but sometimes one-to-one).

How do i get that done?

Lets say as example; i have a Contact table that has an Organization ID that links to Organazation table.

I would like to display the Contact information and information about the organization in a seperate moduel on the same page:

e.g.

Module 1:
Contact:
FNName
LN
Phone


Module 2: (Linked to the OrgID in the contacts module on the page)
Organization Name
Organization address


how do i do that?


thank you

When you install a module, 3 modules are actually created. The main module is the name you gave your module( ie. Employees), if you use the {SelectLink} in this module then when a record is selected, the Display(Employees) module responds and allows you to template the display of the current record. I believe this is the functionality that you're seeking.

The 3rd module is the Add(Employees) module and is used to display the Add/Edit/Delete form on the same page as your main module.

thanks for the quick response.

But how do i link Employee Display module to show also the corresponding Organization (OrgID) in the Organization Display module?

The 2nd module Organization will respond to a querystring variable (OrgID if this is the Response Variable you used in the module options) So you could build an link like a target=_blank href=........./OrgID/{fldOrgID}> in the Employee template

The orgID will depend on the selected contact.

Kinda similar to the demo you have

Unless I misunderstand what you're doing, the How To Applicate Modules is what you're after.

Are you creating Organizations before hand and presenting a list of them to the user to select from or is the organization being added after the contact is added?

Yes.. this is just a sample of what i have. Lets say i have the following tables:

Table: Organization
OrgID, Name, Address, Fax

Table: Contact
ContactID, OrgID, FName, LName, Phone


I created 2 modules, one for each.

Now i Want to be Able to display the contact organization side by side when a contact is selected:

So on the page i would have a list of contacts and when i select one it will show me the contact information and a (read only) moduel that shows the organization information

I thought that that was kinda what the demo was for
