    Please Help

    I have a Table with 4 columns of information
    Column 1 - ID No.
    Column 2 - Name
    Column 3 - Max ID
    Column 4 - Min ID

    Column 1 has and ID number which identifies the piece in the Name column.
    Column 3 and Column 4 contain numbers which are in Column 1

    Code:
     
    ID Name Max Min
    1   Apple 1     2
    2   Orange 2   2
    What I need to do is to replace the values in the Max and Min fields with the Value from the Name field.

    Hope this makes sense.

    No that does not make too much sense. You want to copy a string value over two numeric values in a table?

    Yes that is what I need to do. The attached PDF may clarify things.


    Thanks in advance.

    That does not help too much. Is this in MS Excel or MS Access?

    Is this an exersize for some class or is there a real world reason to do this? Are all of the fields text? Are you supposed to do it with a query?
