Field calculation to perform lookup

With the following calculation

Case ( Type of Information = "Subhead" ; TextStyleAdd ( Ingrediant Instruction Subhead ; Bold )

; Type of Information = "Ingrediant" ; If ( NDB No Serial > 1 ; Lookup ( Ingrediant Instruction Subhead ) )

; Type of Information = "Instruction" ; TextStyleAdd ( Ingrediant Instruction Subhead ; Italic))

The type if information in the field is dependant on Type of Information.

The ingrediant is looked up dependant on NDB No Serial but only if the field is not empty. The lookup statement is the closest to what I need to achieve but I also know it is the wrong thing to do.

Stumped.

Not sure I'm following the process.

Triggering a lookup and "Styling" the field should be two separated processes..

It may work, but you need to lookup based on a relationship. Read the online help regarding the Lookup function.
