RE: [MS_AccessPros] Look up tables

 

Jim,

 

Was the developer perhaps referring to lookup fields, rather than lookup tables? Most developers agree that lookup fields are poor design.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Look up tables

 

 

Hello all,

 

A developer recently told me that using lookup tables is bad design. I argued that it is not possible to have drop downs on a form without having some data associated with the dropdown so users do not make spelling errors for one. it gives users limited choices, so they do not have the wildest things typed.

 

I began thinking how would anyone have combo boxes without lookup tables? What do other developers do especially SQL backend users?

 

Thank You

Jim Wagner
