    Table with look-up columns

    I have 2 tables in a database. 1 is a for projects and one is for contacts.

    I have inserted a look-up column in my projects table that looks for a contact name from the contacts table. I want additional fields in the projects table to be filled with values from the contacts table based on the look-up column selection and I can not figure it out.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.



    Thanks

    With forms not an issue, but users should not see tables and you should not be using Lookup Fields.

    User are not seeing the tables or forms directly from access. Users ar accessing the DATA through a visual basic exe.

    All the more reason not to use a Lookup Field.
