Update a field on a custom object using a USER lookup field

Question

Hello, I created a custom object that has a field "requestor" that is a lookup to the SF USER table.  I want to create another field that is auto-populated with the manager name of the "requestor" .  Any suggestions?  Master detail doesn't work since USER is not a standard object.

Hello Tiffany,   Create a  Formula(Text)  field on the same object like this: Requestor__r.Manager.FirstName +' '+Requestor__r.Manager.LastName

Do you just nned the name (text) of the User's Manager?  Or are you trying to update another Lookup(User) field with the User.Manager?
