I keep hearing mixed comments.

Can you Join Focus tables to Oracle tables ( as long as you have a common field?)

I've done it and haven't had problems but some programmers told me you may receive unpredictable results.

Thanks,
Jim

You can join them but you got understand that the reporting server does what you call NON-APT. It reads both the tables and does a FOCUS managed join. This will slow down the report.

You will need to have a userid/password to access these documents.

Hope these help.

Cheers, Big Grin
