Concatenate two fields and then make a lookup box
How do I combine two fields and then make them a lookup box? I know how to
make a lookup box in a table (using the lookup wizard) and know how to concatenate two fields in a Query, but how do I do both? Would this be using an Expression? |

Shannon,
Field concatenation for any purpose other than just display/print is very rarely required; most likely there's a better way to achieve what you want, if you care to explain what that is. Moreover, most people answering posts here will agree that whoever put in the lookup box functionality in tables should have been fired from MS before the end of the beta testing, but certainly after he/she had removed it from the final product... why do you need it? Tables are not intended for entering / editing data, that should be handled in forms. Again, care to explain? Nikos Shannon wrote: How do I combine two fields and then make them a lookup box?

Nikos, thank you for your response. I decided to delete the two fields and
made it into one. This seemed to work, then I was able to make a look up and put it into my form.
