Thanks and you have suggested an excellent amalgamation of UV and this forum.  Frankly some of the senior members in this forum are best placed to provide a quick feedback on what is bothering most people as they endeavour to resolve these. 

In regards to user field, I was merely trying to use an employee table (user field as the PK) and connected it through from another app as I did not want to create a employee repository again.  In this scenario I was not able to use a user field as it was  being connected as text field.

Arshad, you can convert that text field into the user field as I've also faced the same situation in one of our applications.

Try to create a formula-user field and use this formula- ToUser([Your User Field])

Then, use this field and it will solve your problem.
