Hello Anne,
Thanks for your interest in Kexi :)

Kexi supports one-to-many relationships that can be defined in Table
Designer, I explain it here:

http://lists.kde.org/?t=123385488600001&r=1&w=2

Once a combo box work in tabular view, you can assign the column to a
combo box widget in form and it'll automatically use the definition
made in Table Designer.

The info did not find its way to the Handbook
[http://userbase.kde.org/Kexi/Handbook] (but it finally should...).
