    Trying to replicate Crystal report that uses Object Services but using a command object instead. Here's the ado code:

    dmeROD=WEBUSER.PRODLINE&FILE=PORECLINE&FIELD=DESCRIPTION;ENT-REC-QTY;ENT-REC-UOM;ITEM;MANUF-ID;MANUF-NBR;MMDIST.ACCOUNT;MMDIST.ACCT-UNIT;POLINE.ENT-UNIT-CST;POLINE.EXTENDED-AMT;POLINE.VEN-ITEM;REC-DATE;VENDOR;VENDOR.VENDOR-VNAME;VEN-ITEM;POLINE.QUANTITY&SELECT=MMDIST.ACCT-UNIT%3E%3D4410000%26MMDIST.ACCT-UNIT%3C%3D4419999%26REC-DATE%3E%3D01%2f01%2f08&OTM=1&OTMMAX=639&_CMDTYPE=CGI


    This is a simple report showing PO receipts - I know I need POLINE, PORECLINE, APVENMAST, and MMDIST. The problem is that the accounting unit value comes from the MMDIST table, but I'm not seeing how to join that to any of the other tables. Any assistance in defining these joins is appreciated, or any help in decoding the Object Services query.

      What you are using is add-ins in Lawson where the relationships are predefined. If you want to recreate this report you would have to go through the lawson joins defined for each table. The ERDs(Entity Relatioship Diagram) site on this forum describes each table and how the different tables are joined.
