Displaying a document created with one form into another form

OK … On form2 I have a dialog list field called “getschool”. The list of schools is coming from the first colum in the view called “schoolview”. (documents were createduisng form1) This works fine.

I want the person to select the school and then I need that person to see all the information about that school dispalyed in form 2.

I have tried serveral ways of doing this but can’t get any thing to work.

Maybe it is not possible …

Can anyone help …

Now I am thinking something like this …

@If(getschool=“Acreman Elementary”;“what should this value be … to display the full document”;

getschool=“Woodland Elementary”;“display the information form that document in this new form”; " " )

  • “-”

Oh my goodness … I really need help … is this even possible.

Can you show all the necessary fields for Form 2 in the schoolview and do lookups to the various columns? hth Cathy

Would that mean that i would have to put all of the fields on form2 the same as form one … ie Form1 field = pobox and on form2 field=spobox and then do a lookup for each of the fields…

That seems a very long way around.

You see Form1 will be for internal use … I will already have all the shcool information filled out for all 32 schools. And the a school secretary will have to use form2 at the beginning of each school year to enter the new school council information … so I want her to select the school and then when she saves the document … it will be displayed on the web for everone to see… when they click on a document in the view they need to see the school infomation displayed along with the council memebers information … prefrabley on one document. do you see what I mean?

Subject: No, you would not have to look up every single field

only those you want that are pertinent.
