Hi Kern,

In controller add the following "DBA_Name__r.Name" to your Query. 
Below code in VF page.
  
<apex:column headerValue="DBA Name">
         <apex:outputText value="{!item.DBA_Name__r.Name}"/>
     </apex:column>

Hi Dagny,

I am in a situation where I would like to show some opportunties at certain stage, happy visualforce is rendering required records but when it comes to account name, it is showing as  a link instead of name, couldn't figure out how to fix this?

The above post did help me in rendering contact names, but I am stuck with account name.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Paula,

Every LookUp field store Id of the related object's record and its string type.

Thatswhy we use "accountid".

So,use this  <apex:inputfield value="{!opportunity.accountid}"/>.

If we want to access any lookup field in visualforce page,use id with field as mentioned above.


I hope you find the above solution helpful.If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,
