Chain of Lookup Fields
Chain of Lookup Fields
Hi everyone,
I am trying to make a chain of lookup fields across multiple forms.
In other words:
Form 1 = Company Names
Field =
Company
Form 2 = New Leads
Lookup Field to
Company in
Form 1
Form 3 = Work in Progress
Lookup Field to
Company in
Form 2
The idea is that we collect as many company names as possible and make a database in Form 1 = Company Names.
As the names are qualified they will get entered into the New Leads (Form 2), the company name being selected by a Lookup field pointing at Form 1 -> Company Names.
When the deal comes in, the names will then get entered into Work in Progress (form 3) via another Lookup pointing to Form 2 -> Company.
Essentially when a new job comes in, I only want to be able to select a name that has been entered in the second form database, otherwise I will have to sort through hundreds of names in the first form.
When I try to point a new Lookup in a third form to a Lookup in the second Form, there is no option to select it. All the other fields are there, but the Lookup is not.
Can Lookups be connected in a chain to each other across multiple forms?
