Hi all,
Is there an easy way to reference a value in a table if you know the value of the primary key and want to return a value in a different field for that record.
For example, I have a table that has 2 fields. One field is a time period in string form, i.e. 3 months, 1 year, etc., and the second field is that same time period represented in number of days, i.e. 90, 365. Is there a way to look up the numeric representation if you have the text representation without using the DLookup function.
So if my time period is saved as "3 months", could I do something like tblCalibrationCyles.[CalCycleTxt].[CalCycleNum], where [CalCycleTxt] is a field in one table and [CalCycleNum] is a field in the look up table, to return the value "90."
I have seen something similar to this before, but I didn't understand how it worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Coop
