First of all thank you for your patience.. I have been tasked to Access without any experiance.
So.. I have a field in table A (used as my main form) that I would like to update with a unique yet understandable name. I have created a query that takes the first few characters of two other fields and the event date and concatenates them to a unique name.
Challange is the three fields that create the unique name are in table B.
So I tried the folowing in query design just to see if I could update a field in the same table
The results were #Error# in the cells.Code:Expr1: IIf(([EVENT_TBL].[EVENT]="Jacksonville" And [EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_DATE]="4/17/2011" And [EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_TYPE]="PRE-DEPLOYMENT"),([EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_TYPDTE_ID]="PREJACK170411"))
I greatly appreciate your time and guidance.
Respectfully,
Jeff
