Hi guys!

I hope you can give me an advise.

1. I created in SQL server 2 tables - ProjectTbl and PersonTbl..
2. ProjectTbl has PersonID as a FK.

When user want to see Projects I can create a view in SQL server and show him PersonFirstName and PersonLastName instead of PersonID

But when User tries to create new record , instead of PersonID he has to see PersonLastName and PersonFirstName -it has to be lookup field with the data from PersonTbl.

But I can not change the settings for this field in the List Settings in SharePoint 2010, neither add new column.

Did anybody try anything similar? Any ideas?

Elena.

I connected to the SQL server using External Content Types in Share Point Developer.
