ms access - Using a form without a lookup field -

-

i'm trying follow commandment of not using lookup field , getting stuck doing simple.

table people: primaryid, employeeid, lastname, firstname, phonenumber

table tasks: primaryid, employeeid, summary, duedate, status

i've got employeeid linked people tasks in 1 many relationship. queries work fine, know link good.

here's problem: people don't know other people's id, know last name. causes problem in populating tasks table.

i'd create form tasks has combobox (or similar) gives dropdown of employee.lastname options, fills in tasks.employeeid automatically. i'm getting stuck on first step. i've got dropdown work, shows me names, when click one, never updates anything. it's blank.

is there easy way (preferably without vba) - or violating database rule attempting such thing?

tl;dr - want use human readable field (lastname) source table provide different field value (employeeid) same table field on destination table (tasks) - using forms, not lookup fields, because i've been told bad, , can't figure out right method.

thanks,

grommit

edit: apppears has been answered supplement different question posted before: missed email telling me had been updated. lookup , relationship multiple columns

see edit link above, missed great response previous related question.
