Award Customer Points based on sum of Columns

[JohnBoy]

Pretty new to this VBA stuff especially in Access, I can do the docmd stuff etc and some SQL but I have come up against a small problem I could use some help with,
I have inherited a database which I am currently trying to bring some sense to and make more useful,


I have a number of columns in a table relating to customers purchases and need to work out a way to award points per row of data,
So lets say there are 16 columns,
Col A has a customer ID recorded in it, say RA123456
Col B has the main product class number say R123 recorded in it.
The remaining columns have sub category reference number in them say A123 B123 C123 etc etc,
I have a look up table that contains all of these categories etc and a points system that goes with them,
What I want to do is have a new column (17) in my main table look at all of the reference numbers in the row and award a number of points to the row based on the sum of the look ups,
Is this possible and if so any help would be gratefully received

The new colum will have a field which sums the appropriate columns, e.g.

Column17 field is
SumofColmuns: nz(A123) + nx(b123) + nz(b123) + ...

Note that the NZ function is used on the column values to avoid adding a null value which would destroy the sum.
