Like this:

  1. In your [Contacts] table, your {PinCode} field should be a linked-record field that links [Contacts] with the [PinCode] table.
  2. In [Contacts], define two lookup fields, {City} and {State}. These would be lookups based on the value in {PinCode} and reference the values in {PinCode::City} and {PinCode::State}, respectively. ('{PinCode::City}’ means ‘the value of the {City} field in the [PinCode] table.’)
  3. When you select the proper {PinCode} for your contact record, {Contacts::City} and {Contacts::State} will be populated automatically.
