Meaning of codes in Value list

I have a value list that represent cause codes ex: ORD1, ORD2, MFG1, MFG2. Each code has a different meaning. Is it possible to have a drop down list that would include the cause code and show the meaning of the code but when selected would only leave the code as the data? In access this feature is caused a "combo box".

You can try something like this:

Create a Cause Code database, e.g. codes.fp5

Fields: Cause_Code, Meaning

In your "master" database, define the value list to show values from the Cause_Code field in codes.fp5. There is an option to "also show values from..." another field. This second value will not be entered into the field in the master database when selected from a value list
