Pulling information from one list into another in WSS 3.0
My simple example: List A fields: “name”, “phone number” List B fields: “name”, “address”, “phone number” The “name” in List B is a look up field from List A and “phone number” in List B is pulling the “phone number” from List A base on my selection of the look up field “name” in List B. I want the associated “phone number” to be pulled into List B. Can this actually be done in the SharePoint WSS 3.0? Or with SharePoint in general?
