Creating a Lookup Field from repetitive data

I have imported 25,000 records from Excel and would like to put repetitive
data into a separate table. I don't want a one-to-many relationship that the
Table Analyzer creates, I simply want each record to have a lookup/drop-down
menu to point to the Project_Location Table. When I try to convert my current
Location text field into a lookup field, and tell the Wizard I want it to
look in the Project_Location Table I made by hand, it warns me that it will
delete the text data in all 25,000 records.

This seems like a pretty basic process in converting from Excel, yes? If you
can point me to a Help File in Access that describes this process that would
be great as well!

Cheers,
Zadok
