    Update Query

    is it possible for an Update Query to contain a Parameter Criteria?

    What I am trying do is to select a specific criteria in one field and then populate specific data in 2 other fields.

    For example,

    Field 1: Vulnerability Summary using a Like Criteria where I enter a word string...…………………………………...Roofing


    Field 2: Risk where I would like to populate the field according to what is entered in Field 1...…………………. Medium
    Field 3: Difficulty...same as the criteria for field 2...……………………………………………………………………………………. Moderate

    Is this possible? If not, how can I accomplish my objective?


    Thank You

    I would tend to do this with a table rather than relying on a free-form typing.

    For instance
    Code:
    tblVulnerabilityCategory
    VC_ID  VC_Description
    1      Roofing
    
    tblRisk
    R_ID  R_Description
    1      Low
    2      Medium
    3      High
    
    tblDifficulty
    D_ID  D_Description
    1      Easy
    2      Moderate
    3      Super Hard
    
    tblVulnerability
    V_ID  VC_ID  R_ID  D_ID
    1     1      2     2
    This way you have a defined structure you can change as need demands without having to edit your query every time a change is made. The added benefit being your update query then just becomes a lookup based on a choice from a combo box or other similar mechanism.
