Does a magic bullet exist for figuring out the fields that join tables together in Lawson? I am familiar with the ERDs available on this site, dbdoc, and derfldrpt, but what about the actual fields that need to be related together to retrieve unique results?

I assume the answer is just to figure it out yourself or learn how to read the output from dbdoc better, but I wanted to make sure we weren't missing something obvious.

It's mostly looking at the relationships maintained by Lawson, and understanding how Lawson does conditional indexes.

One other option if you are new to Lawson tables, is to use the OLEDB connector to help see the tables and relationships. That connector is too slow for all your reporting needs but will give you an idea how to link the tables together.
