Are you TRYING to start a fight, Susan?!!?  Most of us have been trying
for years to convince Microsoft that this is NOT a desktop application,
it's a tool to *build* desktop applications.  Let the flames begin!

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?
