This is the kind of thing you do with code in a form.  Tables can't automatically populate a field based on another field in the same record.

Subject: [AccessD] Lookup field in table

I have a table with the first two fields being named PIDName and Ptype. The third field is named PID. I would like the field PID to be automatically populated with the PID that corresponds with the PIDName entered by the user. The PID is stored in a different table (CompletionMaster). I have tried a lookup field but it returns all values in the CompletionMaster table. Is this possible?
