That is precisely the question I should have asked (should I start a new
thread?).

OOI Visual FoxPro, not only allows you to create forms to insert data
into the database, it also has the facility using its "BROWSE" mode (like
a spreadsheet with columns and rows) to specify rules for each column; so
that you can do things like:-

 - force UPPER case.
 - set MAXIMUM/MINIMUM values.
 - LOOKUP and retrieve data from another table.
and being spreadsheet like you can see and edit previously entered
values.

The reason I'm trying to get away from FoxProw is that I wish to move
over to Linux and there appears to be no fully relational database
equivalent available in Linux. I've tried OpenOffice Base but that does
not appear to tick all the boxes.
