Hi Just a thought, might help you. Probably the meds list can be extended as third dimension of the table. It means now the table will not be in two dimension but in three dimension (cube) and this third dimension will be the top surface of the cube. Thus all info (including meds sub-list) can be visualized (and further could be edited) in the form of a cube structure. Regards, Muhammad Tahir, PhD. Assistant Professor, KAU - KSA.

Each patient has several attributes, so the list of patients is displayed as a table. One attribute for each patient is meds the patient is taking.
