Assigning a paragraph of text to a value option number. Can someone help?

L

Lucky Afternoon

I have a fairly good understanding of Access and have built quite a few data
bases.

I'd like to know how to make text automatically populate a field when using
the option box. (of a combo box) For example, if I have an option or combo
box with 3 cities names listed, how can I make text populate another field.
I can assign the option or combo box to a field but the "valueoption" number
populates the field. (example a 1, 2, or 3) In other words, how do I assign
a paragraph of text to a valueoption? I hope I'm asking this in a way that
it is understandable. If not, I can send a small sample database to
furthur illustrate my question. I have tried using the lookup option with
another table but I don't seem to have the settings correct.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help me with this.
