    Can you edit an append query / table field prior to execute?

    TableA has 3 Security Fields names per customer...each have defined Yes/No ticks.
    Customer
    Level 1 Security
    Level 2 Security
    Level 3 Security


    Joe's BBQ No No Yes
    Bob's BBQ Yes No No
    Adam's BBQ No Yes No

    User selects in a FormB one of these 3 security levels from a drop down, can an append query be edited on the go prior to executing?

    Append query appends TableA information only of the selected Security level name. User selects Level 3 Security from drop down...appends only 'Joe's BBQ' to receiving table.

    Append query fields - Customer | [Forms]![FormB]![Securitydrop] | ??

    This should be one field with 3 options.

    Don't really understand what you are wanting to edit.

    What is the 'receiving table'?

    Corey,

    Instead of showing us how you have done something in Access, step back and tell us in plain English WHAT you are trying to accomplish. No jargon, no Access etc.

    Each customer is unique. A support member needs to have that customer assigned to him/her. The support member covers level 3, so any customer with level 3 security would be assigned to that support member.

    The issue is a customer can have multiple levels. Sorry if my explanation is vague.

    With an append query can you set a field as a lookup?

    No. Lookups are set in table or as combo/list boxes on form.

    Can join tables in query to pull in associated data.

    Still, those 3 fields should be 1 with 3 options. Then you could just join tables on the Security field to pull the associated staff name. No APPEND needed.
