    Question Bulk Assigning of available data


    I have a data base of ip addresses. I need to come up with a way to bulk assign Host names to the available ip addresses. The only data that is the same between the two tables is a Farm Name which is the same for each record. My first query creates a temp table that lists ip addresses by farm name that do not have a host name. That is my data pool. Then I import from Excel a list of host names (with farm name) that need ip addresses. What I am not sure how to do is "Combine" the tables. Putting a Host Name with an IP address.

    Conventional approach is data entry. Filter form to show IP records that don't have host name. Select available host name from combobox. The combobox RowSource can be a query that shows only host names not yet associated with IP. After name selected, requery the combobox so the name just assigned no longer lists.

    Otherwise, need VBA code that opens recordset objects and cycles through the recordsets, reads host name record and populates IP record, move to next record in each and repeat.
