Data integrity, and deeper hierarchies - OBA

OK, I've just got my hands on BCM. Question: I would like to customize
(programmatically, if necessary) BCM to have a hierarchy higher than Account:
so instead of

Customer ==> Account
Customer ==> Division ==> Company

I am a programmer, so don't mind having to create a custom form in Visual
Studio if that is inside of .NET 3.0, or elsewhere?? I have not been
involved in this sort of project (VBA, Office Automation) in many moons,
however, so just need to know where to look.

Also, I would like to create a list box whose values are driven from other
data - basically, I want to customize BCM from behind the scenes.

I was at the recent Launch event for MSDN and saw things about new Visual
Studio Office automation (OBA? I think), but not sure how BCM and this might
converge.

Thanks for pointing me to right resources.

Cheers,

Mark

You'll need to create your own database and do the hierarchy linking
yourself. The forms can display whatever you want from wherever you want.

HTH,
