standardController is custom object; how to access standard object fields?
I have created a series of custom objects (projects, project task, expense, timesheet, timesheet line items) and am creating a visualforce page for a billing detail report, and the standardController = SFL5_Projects__c.
A lookup relationship exists on the Projects (SFL5_Projects__c) object to Account via field Client__c, but I cannot reference Account object via standard syntax to pull back the name of the Account (SFL5_Projects__c.Client__c.name errs out, as standard syntax is .Account.name if I were referencing from a standard object like Opportunity.Account.name).
So, my question is how does one reference both standard and custom objects to pull fields (where lookup relationships exist) when the standardController = a custom object?

Custom relationships use __r syntax, rather than __c.

Custom relationships use __r syntax, rather than __c.
Snippet:
Project: {!SFL5_Projects__c.name},
{!SFL5_Projects__c.Client__c}
Client__c is a lookup to Account but I don't want the Id back, but the name.
Avrom, to be clear could you post example?
ah...client__r.name, yes?
Right.
