I am using a Tabular Report to view data, and update some fields. There is a field I want to use as a unique key to a lookup table and display the description from the lookup. For example, I have rows of data regarding trees. For field tree_name e.g. "Oak Tree" I want to display the Latin Name which would be contained in the lookup table "trees_and_latin_names" with key of tree_name (and another field with the Latin Name in it) . Having solved this, if there is no value in the Tabular Report, I'd like the user to be able to type in their own value, this being written to their own data (not the lookup table "trees_and_latin_names".

Any help would be appreciated !
Thanks, Mike.
