Import data from another dictionary

[vanndy]

Dear All,

I have a question to ask.
I have two different data entry application, one is for household survey and another one is for Food diary.
For the household survey, it has a roster which record household name. But It already entry.
The food diary, It also has the roster which record name which is the same in household survey. How can I import the household name from household_survey entry to display automatically in roster of food diary? Please note: household_survey and Food_diary are in different data dictionary. Please let me know if it is not clear.

Thanks,

Vanndy

You will do this by adding the household dictionary as an external dictionary to your food diary data entry program. Then you can use the loadcase function to look up a particular case and access the data from this case. Take a look at this program to get an idea of how to use lookup files:
