Hi Andre,

This was changed slightly in Rev 2.2 : now regular
fields will only show a single column of a single
record ; only table fields will show columns from more
than one record.
Using the property palette, go to the 'Table' panel
and turn on the 'Table field' checkbox and then go to
the 'Database' panel to either 'Show all' or 'Selected
columns'.
