Aaron,
I can write some CAML query to lookup the values in the lookup list but I still need to be able to compare those values with the one stored in the field of the SPListItem. How do I compare them? Ultimately, I just want to retrieve the string part (not the id part) value from the lookup Field stored on the SPListItem.

Try the CAML builder: http://www.u2u.info/Blogs/Patrick/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=1315 Cheers, Aaron Regards, Aaron Saikovski Readify - Senior Consultant M: +61 410 480 971 C: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Prior, David Sent: Monday, 23 July 2007 1:29 PM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: [OzMOSS] How to Retrieve Lookup Fields I am using MOSS 2007 WSS 3 and am trying to access the string representation of a lookup column in a list item. I want to retrieve the string value but it's a Lookup column and all I can show up is "1;#Canberra" which is the lookup id and the string. How do I just display the string value of Canberra? Do I have to go back to the originating list that the lookup column is using?
