Mutliple lookups

I was wondering if it is possible to have multilpe lookups to 1 table.

 

What i mean by this is: say we have a table A with fields 1,2,3.

Then we have Table B which has fields 1,2,3.

 

Field 1 in B has a lookup to field 1 of table A.

 

Now is it possible that field 2 in B has a lookup to field 2 in Table A (while still having the first lookup)?

 

I hope i am making myself clear here....just basically wondering if a table or object can be looked up on different fields at the same time...

Yes - this is possible. Here's a thread that relates.

 

Hope that helps,

thanks for the thread ....but junction tables are not gonna help me unfortunately...

I'm not trying to do a many to many relationship.

 

I guess its because i was thinking of lookups as a sort of pick list or something, a list of possibilties given to the user.

Ex: In object B field 1, has a lookup to field 1 of Object A. So in essense when you try to fill the field 1 of Object B, you must choose from a lookup list of Object A, field 1.

 

Now i wanted to add another lookup from B to A, same direction, just on another field though...

So now B has 2 lookups to A, but on different fields.

 

Just was wondering if that is possible, and if so how? (    Prefferably using my example....:)  )

 

Thanks
