Proper Use of Lookup Function?

I am attempting to use the lookup function but following part does not seem to work properly.

I always get the "NA" response.

Lookup (Table1::ID;"NA")

It seems like an easy enough function to use.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

First thing to make sure is that the tables are related. A look up won't work unless there is a relationship.

I have never done it quite the way you are, but you are right in that it is a very simple thing to do; once you understand the relationships.

What exactly is it you are trying to do? If you post a copy of your DB I would be happy to take a look at it. Finally, something I think I can help someone else with...as opposed to my always needing the help.

Thanks for the help, I think I am still looking at database design from a MS Access viewpoint.

I just downloaded "White Paper for FMP Novices", and I am starting to see things from a Filemaker perspective.

After I've read through this, and I still have questions. I post again.

Thanks Again,
