The Lookup tables allow you to manage the list boxes you have in your system. You can add new entries, modify existing entries and delete the unwanted entries form any list box used in the system. Usually, you need to use Lookup tables when you find a commonly used entry in any of the list boxes missing.
For example to add dark pink color in the Colour list box used on the Fruit/Flower tab in Manage Add new window, you need to use the Lookup tables.
Figure 9-1 shows the Colour list box used on the Fruit/Flower tab in Manage Add new window.

Note: My Garden Pal will not allow you to edit or delete an entry that is already in use in any of your plant information. If you want to modify or delete any such entry then you must find the plant with that entry (using search criteria) and change the plants data to another entry before editing or deleting this entry.
