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!
