how to reference data from lookup field

my question is:
I have one custom obj - orderFromweb     : It include such ordernumber, paymentstatus, paymentmethod.......
I have another custom object - orders       : It only include ordernumber field, and company name field from contact  
I wanna through trigger to automatically create an opportunity but i meet some problems

In opportunity have one field is Account Name, this field is reference type, it is lookup field, it has relationship between Account and quote, so I can't get API for this field, only thing I have is AccountId, So how could I get data from account and then fill into this account name field??

Thank you:)

Hi,

You can collect account id and then you can query on acount to get fields and then you can populate ...

You can share your trigger code so I can help you..

In trigger we can not get parent or any lookup field data directly...we need to collect those ids in a set and then again we need to query on that object and then using maps we can populate the values based on our logic..
