Wow, I’m having a bit of a headache with Access 2007. I have two tables, main_table and ref_table. when I store an int id in main_table corresponding to some record in ref_table, I get the looked up value of the record that I’m storing and not the int id. This isn’t what I expected and I’d like access to behave like every other database on the face of the planet and show me the information how I stored it and not how it thinks I want to see it. Anyone know how to turn this ‘feature’ off?

Got it.
1-Go to design view of your table.
2-select the look-up tab bellow the field list.
3-Change row source type to “values”.
