I have temporary interns (more like Seniors > 65) entering data of the pledges from our Donors, the Pledge table only shows the Donors account number "for example DH0012", the pledge date, amount and Description, but the mailed Pledge Cards don't always have the Donors account number, so they intern have to go to the Donors table and find out there account number, then come back and add the entry to the Pledge table. I tried to have Church to switch to MS-Access and they would like to keep it simple and in Excel (oh Well!). So here is my dilemma, WITHOUT using Macros, ActiveX or VB, we like to be able to select the Customer number from the same drop down (aka ComboBox) we use (the interns do not type the Account Numbers manually, they select them from the account number field's drop down (aka ComboBox) that looks directly to the donors table.) BUT! the drop down (aka ComboBox) only shows the account number.. and to eliminate the step where they manually go to the Donors table to find the Account number (write it down or try to memorize it 
), we like the Drop down (aka ComboBox) in the Account number field to show more than just the account number, we like to see, if it is possible in Excel, to have the down down (aka ComboBox) to show the Account Number, the first name and last name form the Donors table (maybe even the City), so it easy to determine who does the account number belongs to. (I can do that on Access and with a VB on Excel, neither is acceptable to them). I think, if there is anyone that can do this, will be in this board, you guys rock!
FYI: the Pledge table currently uses a Data Validation "List" link to the Donors account number Field Column label. and they are using Excel 2013 (Office 365) on Windows 7. We use the table features that auto creates a new row at the bottom of the Table when we use the "Tab key" for the next entry, so any solution would need to automatically get copied to the next row.
BTW, some of the ActiveX Drop Down Box (aka ComboBox) allow this trick, but hey don't seem to play well within Tables...
Thank you so very much for your ideas in advance,
