validation rules

I have a table which is populated using paste append from excel. I
want to allow records only if the value of one field matches one of
many values in a field in another table. I tried to set the validation
rule In([TableName].[FieldName]) where TableName is the table
containing the valid values and FieldName is the field containing those
values. I get an error message stating the field could not be found.
Any suggestions?

If the values in your other table are unique you can establish a
relationship in the relationship window. Select 'enforce referential
integrity', this should prevent unmatched records from being added.
