Lookup and new record questions

[johnchastain]

I have created a database that will use some of the same info from an existing file. Header type info. To start the new record and enable the lookups to take place (this new file will not be directly used it is just a storage file) I am currently copying and pasting 2 fields from the old file to the new file to beging the lookup process. This seems hokey to me and I am looking for suggestions.

Why not import the records and selected fields to the new file?
