>no need for the IOL or script (hopefully).
It is an anti-pattern to suggest there is no need for using IOL or script. Web pages run on JavaScript and there is no alternative (vbscript was the only alternative and it lost the game to JavaScript over a decade ago). There is no well formed problem that script cannot solve and setting up IOL (or other script injection technique) should be the first thing you do to any application.
Why monkey around with superfluous formula fields to do repeated lookup and summary fields and create imaginary relationships between tables only to encounter further limitation or additional pain maintain these constructs?
Accept JavaScript into your heart and all your QuickBase problems will evaporate.
