[Kexi] Documentation for Combo boxes and the like

[Manfred Jung]

Thanks so much

I see the concept here is quite different but also logical. In access 
you define such relationship for the combo box itself regardless of the 
tables and their relationships. Thanks this helped a lot.

The combo-box displays in the drop down contents of the underlying 
table. Is there a way to say which fields should be displayed?

But Thanks so much for getting me going.
