Update Row Failed: Value of Incorrect Type

In Cases I use a lookup field that references a Custom Object (list of employee names).
 
When using the SForce Connector to update the cells using the employee names, I got an error:
 
"Update Row Failed: Project Manager 1: id value of incorrect type: Dewey Smith". (Dewey is on proper name.
 
The original table query returned the ID number of the Custom Object. Is there a way to use plain english (names) to populate the lookup field?

Scott,

Try this:

Go to the options menu and select Related names tab.  then check the "Additional query to lookup and report Contact Names in the Contact ID column"  This should put the persons name instead of the ID in the column.  (see attached picture)
