    Sharing / displaying data between lists

    I'm just getting started with Sharepoint 2007 and am reading Amanda Murphy's/Shane Perran's book on it.  My appetite is whetted and am now jumping ahead with this question...

    Suppose I have a Contacts list with names, companies, phone numbers, etc.

    Then, suppose I have another list of, say, projects.

    In my Projects list, would it be possible to include, for example, a "references" or some such named field, where names are drawn (selectable) from my afore-mentioned Contacts list?  And then, when a Contact name is selected, my Projects list is automatically populated with the (desired) contact info from my Contacts list?  Rather Access-like, I suppose.

    Yes, this is indeed very easy, using what is known in SharePoint as LookupFields. Your implementation may vary, but you can do everything you say.

    Good luck!
