Hello List!

I have still have had no luck getting the results of this detail table to
display.  I even tried adding [tag pragma safe_data] [/tag].  Is there
another approach I should try beside using the [query] tag?  I am using a
sql only database for this, could that be the issue?
Thanks in advance,

Alex
