You can use Microsoft Access and ODBC to do this.. Access has a forms wizard that will help you create forms with embedded subforms (master-detail type of forms). Additionally, the Access Developer's Kit has an OCX (Ole Custom Control) that let's you *easily* setup drill-down capabilities (up to 16 levels deep!) One thing to remember: all ODBC drivers are not created equal.. I have heard some of the third party drivers offer more performance/less frustration than the Q+E/INet combo.. Good Luck!
