I dunno...

Perhaps a Locate on the Lookup data set in the OnChange event of the
DBEdit. Unless that leads to an endless loop? But it shouldn't, should
it, for the first call to Locate should find the correct value (if one
exists), and then the second should only find the same --> no change.

I think, but no guarantees... Try it out for yourself, and good luck!
