        Does DFFS support the ability to read/write to external data sources such as a SQL database? Would it work through any data connection, or a connection through BCS. Additionally, Is there a dataview Grid functionality available to retrieve and edit multiple records through the same form?

          Hi,
          Sorry, but DFFS (and vLookup) cannot read from SQL. You should be able to use a BCS if you add a column “ID” (unique number) to the data source.

          There is no grid view to edit the vLookup data in, but this is only a view. Can you go to the list the data is pulled form and edit it in datasheet view there?
