Access and Lookup Fields
I have created a lookup colomn in a table that gets it's
list from a query that has two colomns. Once I have chosen from the lookup list, only data from one of the colomns are visible, but my users need to see both colomns from the lookup list. How do I do this? |

Look up help for the ColumnWidths property. It should look something like this: 0;;1.2" The 1.2" means a width of 1.2 inches, the empty (second) column means use up all the rest of the available width, the zero means hide the column. Hope that helps Tim F |

Access and Lookup Fields
I do see my two columns in the drop down list. But once I
select an item in the list and tab off the field only the left column shows. These two columns togethar create a unique ID. Table one: has a unique ID (2004-01) Table two: uses the unique ID from table one plus a numbered field (2004-01) (1) as 2004-01 will have more than one entry in this table also these two fields create a unique ID and make up the query used for the lookup list in table three. Third table: feeds from the 2nd table and needs the combination of the IDs from the query to make up another unique ID which is why I wanted both columns to show and should look like this: (2004-01) (1) (a) What would you suggest should be done here? -----Original Message----- "blaqkikapoo" wrote in : Once I have chosen from the lookup list, only data from one of the colomns are visible, but my users need to see both colomns from the lookup list.

: What would you suggest should be done here? I missed the mention in your original post of "look up columns". What I would suggest here is to scrap the look up columns and design the tables and relationships properly. It does not take much longer and you do end up with a functioning database. I see that Van has taken things up further down, so I shan't interrupt any more! B Wishes Tim F |
