Re: Linking lists
Hi Marko, Turning this on it's head it is possible to created a Linked Table in Access which will make the SharePoint List available in your database. You can then craft some SQL queries in Access to do the 'import' and association of the reference data. (i.e. insert into LinkedSPList select blah from AccessTable).

Re: Linking lists
I think you can populate the lookup column in code if it helps, maybe using
a console application ...
Just saw this on a blog to update lookup columns
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sridhara/archive/2007/08/25/update-quot-lookup-quot-fields-in-sharepoint-2007.aspx
string result = string.Empty;
SPSite site = new SPSite("");
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPListItemCollection listItems = web.Lists["listwithlookupfield"].Items;
foreach (SPListItem listItem in listItems)
{
if (listItem["Quantity"].ToString() == "100")
{ // update Product lookup field
result += "Current value: " + listItem["ProductLookUp"].ToString() +
System.Environment.NewLine;
listItem["Product"] = new SPFieldLookupValue(1, "A");
listItem.Update();
result += "Updated value: " + listItem["ProductLookUp"].ToString();
}
}
tbresults.Text = result;

RE: Linking lists
Hi Daniel Thanks for the link. I know this work for new lists, but when I am importing a linked table from access after I add the lookup column its obviously empty. I was more after how can I programatically perhaps enforce something like table 1 join table 2 where t1key = t2key set t1value = t2value I suppose I could do this in the access database before importing the data? But I don't think converting the column to a lookup field would then work...
