I would like to set the control source of a specific field in my table, but I would like that value based on the lookup of a combo box.

If my combo box, which is pulling data from a query, is APPLES. I would like to have my DESCRIPTION field automatically set to RED. Currently I am doing this for display purposes on my form with =[cboFruit].Column(1) but I would like to store that value in my table.

Is this possible?
