Foreign Key link to specific field in other table 07 Apr 2013 00:33 #7029

Hi, I have searched the forums but not found exactly what I am needing. I am new to the system so apologize for my newbee question.

I have created two tables. In one it has the field { employee involved }. I have dragged the other table into the foreign field section as described in the instructions.

The other table has - the auto id, employee name, date started , position and employee type.

When I go and have a look the other table when on a form seems to auto connect to the ID field which I cannot see when building. I want it to select from the employee name field but there seems to be no way in the component creator to be able to do this. I am not a coder so have no idea what to do to make this happen.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. And again, sorry if this is covered somewhere else.

Regards

Jonathan

Freakin' Awesome!!! J-Cook is simply awesome - whether you're a highly experienced developer or complete novice whether you're building a small inventory component or a complete community solution! The beauty comes from a fast slick and reliable platform that readily provides developers with everything they'll need to build the backbone of a solid and secure component with wizards for authoring access publishing aliasing created/modified by dates... you name it COOK provides it! J-Cook really surpasses all of the 'competition' as far as MVC tools are concerned! Try love it and get cooking!
