hi all
is there possible that we can consolidate 1 same table from different companies?
lets say i want to show all of the customer list from 1 Database (more than 1 company inside database)
i need to create report consolidation from several companies

    Yes this is what the COMPANY function is all about. Just create a new table with the primary key Company,Customer No." set it common to all companies and populate it with the necessary data.

    No, you don't need to change anything in SQL Server.

    What is the purpose of this list? Is it a one time task or do you need it recurrent? Should it be some kind of print-out or do you need it in e.g. Excel as well?

    Well, then you could just create a Report and use function CHANGECOMPANY to read the customers from other companies. You don't even have to create an additional table.
