If my last post does not work... another way that works very will is to
first create a query based on the table that you want to lookup with those
three fields in it.  Sort it what ever way you want it... then go back to
the table that you want the lookup in and do it off of the query you just
made and not show that first field... make the first field the field that
you want the value to be.

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!
