Loopers

I must confess... loopers have me mystified!
I want to display a list of items to order. Each item may have several suppliers and I want the user to be able to select which vendor(s) to request a quote from. So, I expect I have to present the table in a looper... but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.
I want something like this:

Item........Suppliers.....Quote
========================
Item 1 Vendor 1 {check box} 1st record
------------------------------------------------------------
Item 2 Vendor 1 {check box}
........... Vendor 2 {check box} 2nd record
........... Vendor 3 {check box}
-------------------------------------------------------------
Item 3 Vendor 1 {check box} 3rd record
.......... Vendor 2 {check box}
--------------------------------------------------------------
etc.
Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks,
Garry

Hi Garry,

AFAIK you cannot put a table or a looper inside a looper.
However, you can use a looper with breaks to accomplish what you want:
Set a break for the item an put the item name in the break header using a static or formatted display control.
Link the controls in the header to a corresponding looper attribute.
The vendors and check boxes go in the looper lines.
The break footers can be made invisible if you don't need them.

Kind regards,
Piet

That must have been very confusing! I forgot that multiple spaces get collapsed when a message is posted. I have edited the original post and used periods instead of spaces to hopefully make it clearer what I want to do. I don't think I need a double looper: I just want each record in the table to show a list of the available vendors for that product.

Hello Garry,

I would use a treeview table instead of a looper for something like that.

Thanks Bart.
Yet another part of WinDev (treeview table) that I haven't investigated!
I will give it a try.
