Foreign Keys

["Mr. Angier" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm a noob so please let me know if this comment should be posted elsewhere...

 I creating a form to submit data to a MS database (using Ben Forta CFMX7 web 
app const. kit for reference).  What I don't understand is the whole foreign 
key thing.  If I'm populating form field data with reference field info but 
then storing the foreign key in my table once the form posts, how do I run 
queries on the data using the actual data rather than ID numbers?

 I hope that makes sense.
