Problem with catalog DB Relation

Hi,

I am having trouble setting this up. I wish to configure a DB so that I can get a single form as in the attachment.
I also wish to add a quick search field at the top of the page rather than an advanced filter form. This is a simple product catalog for spare parts.
Which field should be the lookup field to the other table?

Thanks
Frengix

You'd need 3 tables: roots, items and parts.
Parts table would have a lookup field to roots and another lookup to items, as well as normal fields for manufacturing#, part# and image. The parts table would in this way look similar to your layout above.

You can use the quick search box above the parts table to perform, well .., quick searches instead of using the advanced filters page :D

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
That solved my problem. :)

Is there a way to not show all results when the page loads. I need to only show results when the user search for it.

Thanks
