Hi,
- in the table designer, lookup column tab on the right hand; in the table
data mode you'll see comboboxes
So in the table designer, just select table in the lookup column tab
on the right hand and a bound column within this table (the same
pane). In the example database, click on the 2nd tab to see how this
has been set up.
- in the form designer - once you have lookup columns in your table's
project, you can
put combo boxes onto your form (use similar lookup field tab)
see the 2nd tab here

It's here: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/koffice/kexi/index.html
In particular 'http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/koffice/kexi/designing-forms.html'
(Most important terms) is, well... important.
