Available Fields

Select any field from the primary table or any other table that is linked to the primary file. Collapse and expand the tree list to select fields. Double-click a field to add it to the expression.

Note  A table is linked to the primary table if the key to the table is contained in one or more of the primary table's column names. If those column names have values (so the key can be assembled), data from the linked table is available to make assignments to the primary table fields.
