Hi all,

We have an app that uses several "lookup" tables, i.e., tables that basically serve as dictionaries or for other lookup purposes. These tables are maintained by DB administrators only.

Is there a utility that goes a step beyond the VFP Browse window that makes it easy to manage the information in such files? Just something with easy ways to navigate the records, maybe display a grid+record view (i.e., similar to, but with a bit more structure, than the way VFP does with a split browse/edit window). Something with navigation buttons and a quick way to find, edit, add, delete records. Yes all this can be done in the VFP IDE and command window, but for a non-VFP developer, it's tedious and tricky using this approach.

It seems that somebody would already have created an inexpensive solution for this (and done it better than the VFP wizards do it).

Thanks very much for any suggestions.
