OK, no problem. And I suggest not to send databases to the mailing list, send links instead. I am ready to publish your files in the Examples section on kexi-project.org BTW, there is also https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kexi-devel list, if you even want to track developer's discussion. The list is very low traffic ATM. > Regarding the ParentSearchExample.mdb, tblBills_link and tblItemMaster_link > are not used for the Example.mdb. They are used in the production version.

Let's be aware that there are quite well developed examples, e.g. for MSAccess, freely available: http://kexi-project.org/wiki/wikiview/index.php?MDBDriver#5._Sample_Databases (especially the last link) Expense tracking is one of them, the same for Issues database. > In either case the two features that I > mentioned would be very important in recreating the same functionality as > currently exists: > > - parameter queries (planned for 1.1.1?)

I can see an easy way to do this (a combo box where you can select a type of totals). Anywaym feel free to show me examples (screnshots?) of Approach's solution.
