OK, that rocks! I guess workflow magic would be considered programming magic. Thank you for sharing that with the group. Very NICE indeed. :) A workflow! OK, that rocks!

Not sure that's possible, what you want to do. Maybe via some programming magic? It’s just a new custom field, not a field from something that’s being populated by an outside source.

The built-in "Related Company" field is the field that syncs with Outlook, and so it's the one to use for storing this information. However, I can't figure out how to modify that column so that it does a lookup. If I add a new column and call it "Related Company", the column doesn't get synced to Outlook. (So you have to use the built-in version.) Is this "Related Company" field a custom field you added, or did you use the built-in one and then add the lookup functionality to it (somehow)? Hi Andre,
