When running the Laserfiche Accounts Payable (AP) Demo, the Vendor field on the Purchase Order Approval form is empty. I had a look at the form and could see now way how the field was populated and then I looked at the ExternalTables database and noticed that there is a Vendors table populated with three entries, which were consistent with the entries displayed on the form within the video made available to support the demo.

I therefore created a new lookup on the form to unconditionally fill the Vendor field with the Vendor column of the Vendors field, i.e. the lookup has no condition element.

However, when I run the form the vendor field is not populated with the contents of the ExternalTables Vendors table.

I have tried this with two different VAR systems and the result is the same in both cases.

Can anybody assist with this.

Many thanks, in anticipation.
