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?

Hi Jack,
There are two SharePoint Custom Column extensions available on Codeplex, that I use. The SharePoint Cascading Drop Down List (With Filter) Field Type by Sarith Sircar @
http://cascddlistwithfilter.codeplex.com/ and the SharePoint - Query Based Lookup Field Control by Adil A. Baig @
http://customfieldcontrols.codeplex.com/. Check out the documentation on the
Both are extensions of the Patricks original work…
