Lookup field

geraldinegrieve
Hi I have a lookup field in a able which I know now I shouldn't have but is there any way I can query this field by text rather than number e.g I have a field "Type of Training" which I would like to ask for First Aid but have to enter the number 3.

Many Thanks for any assistance
