Default Looking for an "access-like" frontend - 02-01-2008 , 04:39 PM






Hi there,


im looking for a frontend with a nice feature MSAccess has:

when i got a FK in a table, access can retrieve comlumns of the
referenced table an displays them instead of the FK.

eg:

ROOM
----
name | floor
livin 1

would be DISPLAYED as:

ROOM
----
name | floor
livin base

(the frontend is so configured, that it shows the floors name)


FLOOR
-----
id | name
---------
1 base
2 first

it is also possible that there are dropdownboxes where i can select a
floor by its name.

any pointers where i can get such?



thank you,

Sebastian
