You create visual controls on the form, like a grid or an entryfield, and you establish a datalink on the visual control which points to the rowset (if a grid) or the rowset.field (if an entryfield) on the query you wish to see. You pass data between tables by writing code within an "event handler" of a visual control, like the onClick event handler of a pushbutton you might also have created on your form.    If you are assembling your form using the form designer, look at the Inspector and click "onClick" under the Methods tab. Have you read Ken Mayer's book, supplied with PLUS? Bruce Beacham
