A... never thought about that one. Several ways to do the same thing... hehe! Will work on that now. Thanks, April! ---Charlie ----- Original Message ----- From: April R.

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. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Charles Ippolito Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 2:58 PM To: MSO 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! ---Charles ************************************************************* PLEASE READ!!!!
