Hi, - in the table designer, lookup column tab on the right hand; in the table data mode you'll see comboboxes So in the table designer, just select table in the lookup column tab on the right hand and a bound column within this table (the same pane). In the example database, click on the 2nd tab to see how this has been set up. - in the form designer - once you have lookup columns in your table's project, you can put combo boxes onto your form (use similar lookup field tab) see the 2nd tab here http://www.kexi-project.org/pics/1.1.1/lookup_column_design.png > Further I don't see where the combo-box is told which is the bound > column. etc. > > Is there some documentation on the various controls Kexi uses? > > One more thing. Does Kexi have something that M$ Access calls a subform? it's not available yet > Any help or pointer to the right documentation is most appreciated. It's here: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/koffice/kexi/index.html In particular 'http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/koffice/kexi/designing-forms.html' (Most important terms) is, well... important. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek _______________________________________________ Kexi mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kexi
