Hi Roy,
You can do this with a ChronoForm that has no form fields. Just use the Form HTML to display the information from the database record. Link to the form with a record identifier in the URL from CC.
I did one a while ago using a smoothbox to display the record. Here's the <td> from the ChronoConnectivity body
<td><a href="http://etude.greyhead.net/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=cc_show_schools&task=extra&height=500&width=400&tmpl=component&ls_id={ls_id}" title="<b>{cLsName}</b>" class="smoothbox" id='{ls_id}' >Vue</a>
<div id="cccontent_{ls_id}_tip" style="display: none;">{cLsName} :: </div></td>
and I had this code in the 'Extra Code 1' box of the ChronoForm.
<?php
require_once(JPATH_BASE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_chronoconnectivity'
.DS.'includes'.DS.'language_schools_1'.DS.'name_arrays.php');
$ls_id = JRequest::getString('ls_id', '', 'get');
if ( !$ls_id ) {
echo "Sorry, the school was not found";
} else {
$style = "
.label {
color:#888;
text-align:right;
}
";
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "
SELECT *
FROM `#__et_language_schools`
WHERE `ls_id` = '$ls_id' ;
";
$db->setQuery($query);
$school = $db->loadObject();
$school->Category = $cat_array[$school->Category];
$school->cLsRegion = $reg_array[$school->cLsRegion];
$school->Dept = $dep_array[$school->Dept];
if ( $school->cLsWebsite ) {
$school->cLsWebsite = "<a href='http://".$school->cLsWebsite."' target='_blank'>".$school->cLsWebsite."</a>";
}
$query = "
SELECT *
FROM `#__et_ls_results`
WHERE `ls_id` = '$ls_id'
ORDER by `Year` ASC;
";
$db->setQuery($query);
$years = $db->loadObjectList();
//echo "<div>".print_r($school, true)."</div>";
echo "<div style='font-weight:bold; color:#0089CF;'>Fiche Organisme</div>";
echo "<table style='width:100%;'>

Note the &tmpl=component in the calling url to hide the template in the smoothbox.
