Default Lookup Lists

I am creating a lookup from a linked table, but the list appears blank even
though I believe that I have set the columns correctly. How can I solve this?

Default Lookup Lists

shalux71,

When you open the linked table are there records in it? If yes then... How
many fields are in the table and are any of the them blank? If one of them
is blank then you need to examine the column properties of combo box. Make
sure it represents the columns in your table. If none of the columns in
your table are blank you will still need to examine the column properties of
your combo box perhaps it is set for more columns then you actually have
thereby showing blank.

Are you doing this in a form, with a combobox (yay!), or directly in a table
(boo!)?
