thank you. i have tried adding another table to the data coonection from the sql server,i tried adding a second data connection to receive data, but this show everything in the database. the ,closest i came was using a repeating section with the history table placed inside but this showed all history not just the history for the info specfic to the repeating section.

You have to use conditional formatting.

On the repeating table add a conditional format
server number != server number then Hide the row

That way only history for that item is shown inside the item.
This is not very performant and it would be better to go into your main data connection and modify.
Use the add table button and select the history table. Then set the relationship on the server ID or whatever.
Then when a query is made, only the associated history will be loaded.
