    Table Lookup Question


    I understand the problems that can be brought upon ones self by creating the table with lookup fields, But if the table was orginally designed with them and then the Field is then changed to a Text box instead of a Combo box will the inherent problems associated with the lookup within a table disappear?

    Change to a textbox should not impact the data and lookup issues go away.
