[AccessD] The 10 commandments Access style question?

Joe,

I'd disagree with them and I'd use lookups as much as possible - lookups are 
true development speed up feature and are very useful for users IMO.

I did read carefully the article they refer to 
http://www.mvps.org/access/lookupfields.htm

Honestly I didn't like to use lookup fields when they appeared in Access 97 
and I even recommended to not use them to some people  - I changed my mind 
for quite some time now - good evolution IMO :)

HTH,
Shamil
