    Hi Sebastian,

     

    Could you tell us how many columns does each list have? How does the new list look like?

     

    I recommend that you look on this solution http://www.sharepointboost.com/Cross-SiteLookup.html.

     

    Alternatively, you can use BDC column which is requested data from your list, depending on selected ID.

     

    Hope this is helpful to you.

    I would like to use the following steps:

    I have 2 Tables:

    >>first Table:

    *ContactID

    FirstName

    LastName

    FirmaID

    >>second Table:

    *FirmaID

    FrmaName

    Address

    If I create an asociation with sharepoint designer and I let user select the FirmaID from Table Firma I would like to display in the Column Firma FirmenName instead FirmaID. Hier a picture.
