need Help:question about lookupfield on custom object and custom field?

Hi,
I have question about workflow.I create a custom object ="Product" on opportunity object .I create three (3) fields on custom object = Product and the filed description is below:
Field # 1:Application Received By(which is lookup(user)field)
field #2 : Closing Stage (pick list field; option is recieved)
field # 3: Closing Stage Owner ((which is lookup(user)field)

I have the requirment that :
If Application Received By not null
then
condition # 1 : set 
Closing Stage = recieved
and 

condition # 2 : set Closing Stage Owner = Application Received By

Example: If  
Application Received By = steve then according to workflow it should update the Closing Stage = recieved and Closing Stage Owner =steve

I create workflow for this and i am able to satisfy the condition # 1  but I am not to create work field update for condition # 2. 
I am new to salesforce and could anyone of you help.

thanks

Hi 

 

      Lookup fields are read only .Even i tried with workflow but i didn't  get the result.Instead of that ,i created a formula dield for  Closing Stage Owner with return type as text and the formula is

 

(ApplicationReceivedBy__r.FirstName ) + ( ApplicationReceivedBy__r.LastName)

 

it is  giving the result as you desired.

choose the field names from the insert field drop down list while you are creating formula.Those names are according to my system.
