I've been told that lookup is used for information that is provided in answer to a question when the information comes from a reference source. For example, someone asks about a cemetery. I find the information in a published book for that cemetery and pass that info along as an answer to the original question. My response goes under the lookup classification. I hope this is correct as this is how I've been doing it. ;-) Joan Asche On 8/29/06, Jan Buker <jcbuker@bukerfamily.org> wrote: > Along the same lines as this question, why is there a Query and a Lookup > classification?
