Hmmmmm.....
It runs in my mind that DBMaster Pro is supposed to allow stuff like that,
but I have not used the Pro version of that program (the downloadable
DBMaster does not support this).  

Another option might be to find a copy of PFS:File, which is a forms-based
database.  It doesn't handle relational data, but its free-form design
allows you to set up something like what you are trying to do.

Good luck!
