I am creating a history table to track field level changes made on a form.
My form has some combo boxes which store an ID field as the value but display
a "nice value" on the form (e.g. store OccupationID but show Occupation
Description).
In my history table, I want to store the nice name and not the ID. I also
need to be able to get the OLD "nice name" and the NEW "nice name". I am
thinking I will need to somehow create a SQL query to do a lookup for the
"nice name" in order to do this but that seems complicated. I am looking for
any ideas how to implement this with or without the SQL query idea.
