Hi Joe,

please note that I answer your mail in [email protected], our
project's mailing list [1], since questions like yours are best
discussed in public: more people can contribute and potentially learn
then. Please also reply to this list - thanks.

This depends on the database type you use. For the integrated HSQLDB
engine, this is possible - you can define a relationship between the two
fields of the two tables. Independent on this, you can always (again for
HSQLDB) create a query which joins the two tables by exactly this field
- just try the graphical query designer, where you have a "Insert/New
Relation" menu item.

Both might not apply to other database backend types, in particular, our
dBase implementation does support neither relationships nor joined
tables in queries.

Ciao
Frank
