I am not sure I fully understand your question, but if you are talking about
pulling fields from a related dbf and displaying them in your dbedit window,
yes it is not too hard to do.  Just write a function that returns a string of  
all the fields you want.  Supply this function name to dbedit() instead of
the array of field names.  Make sure you have SET RELATION for the related
dbf.

If you are talking about actually appending records to the dbf, please explain
your problem in a little more detail.
