Lookup on a table

you can use the lookup to change a product ID field to show the product name instead. Is it possible to show both the ID and name in the table?

RE: Lookup on a table

Hello Vaz,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Access course with BEST Training.
Thank you for your question regarding Lookups on a table.

You can display multiple coluymns in your lookup combo box, by changing the COLUMN WIDTHS field in the lookup. Usually what happens is that the lookup will pull the ID and the NAME through into the field, and then only show the NAME, or second column. This is becaase the COULMN WIDTHS is set to being 0cm. If you set that to 1cm, then the ID will show.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Richard
Microsoft Office Specialist Trainer

Access tip:

Create An Inaccessible Field On A Form

There is sometimes a need to make a field in a form look like a normal field but be completely inaccessible to the user. To do this:

In the Field's Properties
Set the ENABLED property to No
Set the LOCKED property to Yes

The field will not grey out, but the user will not be able to do anything with it.
