TIP
If a field has only a few possible entries that won't change, typing the list di-
rectly in the wizard is easier. If a field has a lot of potential entries, or if the entries
will change often, you can link them to a table. (You might have to create a table
expressly for this purpose.) For information about creating lookup fields based on
another table, see “Allowing only values in other tables” later in this chapter.
