I would like to see a FK popup DHTML window appear
onmouseover FK# event. The DHTML window contents will
be defined in the Relation View page. Instead of a drop
down Choose Field To Display. Have either:
1) Text box which you can enter a query for the FK lookup.
OR
2) Multiple text boxes to select more than one field.

Example 1)
SELECT CONCAT(first_name, ' ' last_name) as Name FROM
contact_tbl WHERE contact_id=#id# ORDER BY Name

The "#id#" would be replaced with the FK id.

OR

Example 2)
DropDown1, DropDown2, DropDown3... etc.

    Example 1 with a query can also be used to query more than one
    table to build the FK popup.

    Example:
    SELECT a.first_name, a.last_name, b.email FROM person_tbl a
    INNER JOIN address_tbl b ON a.person_id=b.person_id WHERE
    person_id=#id#

    In regards the the Initial posting: there was an ORDER BY
    statement which doesn't make sence if its a PK lookup.
    But it leads to another idea:

    If you use DHTML popup windows then you can have reverse FK
    lookup, the DHTML window can contain a table list of FK values.
