If you're not going to purchase (or don't have access to) ESRI's <a href="http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisengine/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ArcGIS Engine</a> product but still want to have a desktop application, your best bet is probably to use ESRI's free <a href="http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/javascript/arcgis/index.cfm?fa=home" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JavaScript API</a> in conjunction with <a href="http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline/map_services.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ArcGIS Online Map Services</a> (if you're going to use mapping internally or non-commercially, there's no charge for most of the data). For example, you could use the USA/World Bundle and gain access to satellite imagery, street information, etc. To view maps in a desktop application, simply host a web browser (such as the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WebBrowser</a> control for .Net) on your form, then load the base map and layers via JavaScript API calls. However, you will also need some way to display map layers that are associated with your company as well. For that, you will need to look into <a href="http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisserver/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ArcGIS Server</a>. It's not cheap, but it's a good way to host map information as well as perform queries against layers. If your users don't need to do any editing, you could probably get away with the Basic version.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
