Delete the Airport Name field that stands alone in the Requests table. Use only the Airport Name "Relationship". The proxy field [Airport Name] will serve as your drop down list. In the Requests table, open the Related Airport field properties. Set Airport Name as its proxy. Then you can use Airport Name as the drop down list.
