why we need to create a look up column in the parent isite list.. we have to create it in child site not in the parent site.
Lookup for a list in parent site cannot be created in sub site... you need to add it as site column,so will have to create site column in parent site.
do you mean that in the subsite, a person should select "add from existing columns" ? or to create some type of column? I've tried both and don't see how to access the column from the parent site.
Its working :).
1.parent list on site
2.parent lookup column to the parent list on site
============
3.subsite list -add existing column (parent lookup) to list
Thanks, it really did the trick!
