No. :) I'm talking about the built-in lookup field feature that lets you
display a related value from another table. Open a table in Design view and
click the Lookup tab in the Properties pane.
Developers soundly trash them, but I find them rather cool -- and if abused,
is that Access's fault? ;) I'm mostly in favor of anything that makes Access
more available to the average user -- it IS a desktop application after all.
No, I don't use them, and I often have to "undo" them in Northwind when I'm
using that db in an article example, but I can see why users would like and
use them.
Here we goooooooooooooooooooo! ;)

Susan,
I've seen people joke about this before and I've just assumed I knew what
they were referring to ("hard coded" delimited lists that are not stored in
a table).
Is this a correct assumption?
