I just started with FormTools and i havent been able to figure this one out. I would like to be able to read the input from one textbox in a tab and display it in another tab. I cant even figure out how to retrieve it from the table since I cant lookup by the current submission id. Can anyone enlighten me on this? Thanks
BTW - I am using an internal form

Ok here is an update. I have read on the forum where a user has the same issue where he cannot get data between fields in other tabs. It seems as if there is no way to lookup a column in the table because you cannot find the primary key (submission_id). It also seems as if you cannot reference field names between tabs as well. The only way i could figure out how to be able to query the database where the submission_id is the current one was to create a custom field. I was able to set the value to $SUBMISSION_ID in the "Displaying" section. I now added a new field to the second tab and set it to my new custom field. I added it to my view and it now displays the current submission_id. I was able to use the field value to query based on the submission_id.
