Hi,

Thank you for responding my question and for your explanations.

I agree. I think would be the best if I can design the page to either:
1. Having two side by side sections, each section pulling data from
    a different table,
OR
2. Showing 2 columns in body.

Could you help me to do that?
I greatly appreciate your help.
