    Advise not to use lookup in table if the lookup involves an alias. Review: http://access.mvps.org/access/lookupfields.htm

    I never build lookups in tables.

    Can you build the combobox on form without error?

    I heard of Lookup fields before. Didn't know what they were though until I clicked that link. I think I will spend the next 5 minutes trying to forget what they are.

    A combobox is a data control used on forms. Build form to interface with table. Use combobox to select data.

    I don't know why the lookup in table is generating an error but advise not building in table anyway.
