How do I do Field Reference instead of Node Reference in CCK?

Hello,

May I know how am I going to setup a field that reference to another field in CCK?
There is an option to setup a field that reference to a Node but I can't seem to get work out how to reference a field to another field.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards,
Jeno

Not sure what your goal is

Not sure what your goal is but fields really only exist as part of a node.

Explaination...

Sorry if I wasn't clean enough. I'm not sure how am I going to word this. So here is goes...

First of all, this is for my learning purpose. I've create a Job Posting, Job Application, and Referral Content Type CCK. When user visit the Job Posting post, user will find a Job Application and Referral at the bottom, user can click on them to apply for a job or they can refer it to someone else.

My problem is that I can't have all the information in the Job Posting page to be carry over to the Job Application/Referral page depend on which link user click on it. Obviously on my Job Posting CCK I also have a few other field such as Department, Languages and Contact. Right now I only can bring Position (which is the Job Posting CCK Node) into another page but I cannot get the rest of the field which content within Job Posting CCK populated into another page.

Hope this help.

Thanks & Regards,
Jeno
