Displaying data from an unrelated table

Question

I currently have a parent table "patients" with two child tables, "procedure authorization" and "appointments." These two child tables are only related through their shared parent table but I want to display appointment information on my procedure authorization table. I currently have a report link connecting the two, but this does not work for me, as I need to be able to at a glance see the appointment without having to click on a link. Is there any way to do this? I really appreciate the help, as this solution is eluding me.

you can create a field on appointments which concatenates the fields together with all the relevant details in one field.If you want the results to be sorted by date, then I suggest that the first part of the string be in the format YYYY-MM-DD.Then use a Combined text summary field on the relationship to float up the appointment details to the Patient.&nbsp; Then use a formula like this to convert it to a vertical list.SearchAndReplace(ToText([My Combined Text Summary Field]), " ; ", "
")Then look that up down to Procedure Authorization.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

Everything is working beautifully except the formula to convert to vertical list. Am I putting it in the wrong place?------------------------------Hunter Collins------------------------------
