Prompt Table:
If you want to provide prompt support for a
field based on the data
stored in a separate table,
enter the name of the table you want to use as the
Prompt Table at: Record field
properties - Edits - Prompt table.
This will enable users to
position their cursor on the field and press F4 to
prompt for a list of values
stored on the table.
Translate Table:
The translate table is a table that stores
values for fields that
need to be validated but don't need individual
tables of their own.
