Need a little better description as to what you mean. Is there an ORDER BY 
field? And, how does this relate to the actual value that is returned?

Also, please keep in mind that I am trying to do this is the TABLE, not a 
FORM... if that changes matters.

  I believe you have to add ORDER BY at the end of the look up field and
  enter the sort [table].[field] order you want?

  Subject: [mso] LOOKUP


  One of my tables contains a field, we'll call it field A. When entering
  data on field A, I want to do a LOOKUP to ensure that the only data that
  can be entered is what is in another table. So I use the LOOKUP wizard,
  and create a LOOKUP using 3 fields from another table. When entering the
  data, it shows the 3 columns from the lookup table, but when I select
  one of the choices, it returns the value of the first field. I want it
  to return the value of the second field. I know I can just change the
  order, but I want it alphabetized by the first column, but the second
  column to be the return field.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!
