    Displaying Value and not ID

    I am trying to show in one field three values, but instead value I see its ID.

    Any advice how to display three values?


    Attached a database.

    You should really *not* be using Lookup Fields. http://www.mvps.org/access/lookupfields.htm
    ...and you don't really want more than one value in a field.

    So what the compensation to "Lookup Fields"? Because ManufacturerName field can be duplicated I want to show CatalogNum and ManufacturerModel too.

    I found the following solution, where the 'Column Count'=4:
    Code:
    SELECT DISTINCT Models.SamplesID, Models.CatalogNumber, Manufacturers.CompanyName, Models.ManufacturerModel 
    FROM Manufacturers INNER JOIN Models ON Manufacturers.ManufacturerID = Models.ManufacturerName;

    You can easily display just about anything you want in a query which is fine. Just don't use Lookup Fields in a table. Using ComboBoxes on forms as a Lookup is also just fine.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
