Thanks for help on this, Looking at moving from Access and I'm impressed with the deployment possibilities of LS along with the RAD focus (great name too - Lightswitch). Struggling with something that I'm sure is simple but I'm missing - how do I add a column/field to a query or a datagrid from a related table in LS.  I've tried adding a Data Item in a screen, bit I can't add a field to the grid, and there doesn't seem to be any options to add fields in the query builder. What am I missing folks? Brad

I got a new laptop recently, and installed both Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. I went into Visual Studio 2012 and got the latest version of a C# Lightswitch project from Team Foundation Server (which we use for source control).
