    Question Lookup Wizard at the time of designing table

    I have following tables (for test purpose)
    Employee Table:
    Employee ID (Primary Key)
    Employee Name


    Salary
    Remarks
    Salary Table:
    Document ID (Primary Key)
    Employee ID
    YYMM
    Salary
    I am trying out the option of Lookup wizard at the time of
    designing the table structure. What I need is, when user want to
    enter the data in Salary table, system should provide a help in
    Employee ID table with the following column
    Employee ID and Employee Name
    User should be able to search by Employee Name and Employee ID
    should get saved in the Salary table. The wizard allows us to do
    this (displays two fields), allows the user to select but it always
    saves the first column. In the wizard, even though I select
    Employee ID to be saved, if I use Employee Name as the search
    field, Employee Name is getting saved instead of Employee ID.
    Please help me.

    Sound like you need to use a main form with subform kind of arrangement. Users should never have direct access to tables. They should use forms to add/edit data.
    If this helped, please click the star at the bottom left of this posting and add to my reputation . Many thanks.
