Default Set up db to lookup and concatenate large amounts of text

I have created a db w/ a form to allow the user to input in fields and select
through combo boxes & list boxes certain info pertaining to a physical job
they just completed. My goal is to use this data to lookup and concatenate
fairly large amounts of text into a single paragraph onto the form which the
user can then copy & paste into our clients' system. Would it be easiest to
accomplish this by writing the long and complicated If statements into the
code or use tables for each criteria? Or perhaps another solution? I
currently have it in excel but it is very limited in input and access allows
many more options.

Thanks so much!
