Can you store 2 fields - such as first name and last name - in one lookup
field?
I can only get it to either store the first name or the last name
 
If you are talking about using a lookup data type field in a table, stop
now! Lookup-type fields store the primary key of the looked up record, but
display something else. This leads to confusion.

Instead, to do "lookups", use a combobox in a form. Plus, by using a query
to retrieve what the combobox displays, you could concatenate the first name
and the last name.
