multivalued lookup columns

The "Do you want to store multiple values for this lookup?" option does not
come up when I try to create a lookup column. Any ideas? Thanks.

Since neither multivalue fields nor lookup fields are well designed or even
necessary, I'd simply avoid the problem by never using either misfeature.

janelegend,

Sounds like you are using a database in Access 2007 but in MDB format. If
this is so then no you will not see that option. You would need to convert
your database.

If you are trying to do this as part of a table definition, be aware that
lookup data types in tables can cause confusion (see John's response). Also
be aware that Access 2007 uses a new file format, .accdb (see Gina's
response).

If you intend to have users interacting directly with the table, stop now!
Access tables store data, Access forms (and reports) display data.
