Infomaker Custom Tab / Local Table

Sheila Collins
$organization

Hello All,

I'm not sure how to write this clearly but I have a monster of a custom screen with a bunch of calculations (computed fields) based on other computed fields.  Rather than having to recreate these monsters each time I'm creating a report, I'd like to save them back to the local table.  But I'm not sure how to do that.  Do I have the option in Infomaker to use a computed field as a column in the database?  I'm not seeing it. 

Any guidance is a appreciated.

Thank you!

    Without a bit more detail, I would recommend Jon’s suggestion as well.  In general, I try to abstract the data retrieval and processing from the display as much as possible.  It also makes it quite portable for say…migrating to SSRS.

    Can you possibly do everything in the stored procedure and just render the results?
