    I’m deciding if I should manually import data from a spread sheet to an existing form (adding data to existing records) or if I should import this data as a separate form – where both forms have a common key field.

    My question is: If I go with two forms could I run a search that uses criteria from both forms?

    For example form 1 has Names and ID# and form 2 has debts and ID# could I run and save a search that shows people with debts less than x and have the resulting records show names and debts?

    Apologies if this is vague or naive but I’m new to relational style databases.

    Hi Jim,

    Tap Forms doesn’t have any functionality to join forms together based on the values in the records. But that’s something I plan on adding at some point. And searching works only within the form you’re searching, not on linked forms.
