ACCGRPID is a unique identifier for each seperate account. Each account can
have many locations (tens of thousands sometimes). Each location has a value EQSITEDEDAMT, which is the value to be updated for certain locations eg only the ones in CA. This value is in a table with other information about the locations which is not needed here. The primary key of that table is called EQDETID. Hope this clarifies! "Ken Snell [MVP]" wrote: ACCGRPID is or is not the same value as EQDETID? In other words, does ACCGRPID have the value that we would use to find the matching EQDETID?

Let me recap....
Each account is uniquely identified by ACCGRPID. Each account has many locations. Each location is uniquely identified by EQDETID. These records are in table dbo_eqdet_QTE_05_01. You desire to update the value for the EQSITEDEDAMT field (you also called this the SITEDEDAMT field?), which is in the dbo_eqdet_QTE_05_01 table where each record is uniquely identified by the EQDETID value. So, assuming that I have correctly stated the information, let me give you a generic update query to show you how it's constructed: UPDATE dbo_eqdet_QTE_05_01 SET EQSITEDEDAMT = "New Site DED Amt" WHERE ACCGRPID = "The account number"; So, for example, suppose that you want to set the EQSITEDEDAMT value to 10 for all locations for account number 11223: UPDATE dbo_eqdet_QTE_05_01 SET EQSITEDEDAMT = 10 WHERE ACCGRPID = 11223; Now, let me take your Select query that you posted, and let's see if we can turn it into an appropriate update query, using the values that you provided for the various criteria and my example of 10 for SITEDEDAMT: UPDATE dbo_accgrp_QTE05_01 SET dbo_eqdet_QTE05_01.SITEDEDAMT = 10 WHERE dbo_accgrp_QTE05_01.ACCGRPID=208 AND dbo_loc_QTE05_01.COUNTRY="US" AND dbo_loc_QTE05_01.STATECODE="CA"; -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "Mary Pode" wrote in message ...

You're almost right with the assumptions - sorry, it's probably me not being
clear. Everything you've said is correct except that each location is uniquely identified by a primary key field called LOCID. Each locations details such as address are kept in a seperate table (where the primary key is LOCID) from where the financial details for each location are kept. The field SITEDEDAMT is kept in the table where the financial details are kept (dbo_eqdet_QTE_05_01). The primary key for this table is called EQDETID. LOCID appears here as a foreign key.

OK - so now the next step will be to build the form that you'll use for
entering/selecting the parameters and then running the update query, correct? Which parameters will you want to enter/select on the form? I assume account number, SITEDEDAMT, and perhaps others? Which of these do you want to select from a combo box? which do you want to allow the user to enter as a typed-in value? Set up the form accordingly...put textboxes and/or combo boxes on it. Give them names that are meaningful...e.g., txtSiteDEDAmt; cboAccountNumber, etc. Put a command button on the form that will be used to run the update query. After you have this set up, post back and describe what you have, including the names of the form and the controls (textboxes, comboboxes, and command button). -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "Mary Pode" wrote in message ...

Right, this is how the form looks:
The fields I have on it are all text boxes. They are ACCGRPID (the unique identifier for each account) (The name of this is ComboAccGrpID) This is a field where the user can enter the number and press tab and the following fields are filled out: ACCGRPNAME (the name of the account) (This is called FieldAccGrpName) The fields I want the user to be able to fill out are text boxes and are called: FieldUpdateEQDedTo (this is where the value for the SITEDEDAMT goes - the value to be updated.) FieldEQCountryWhere (which is where the user would put US) FieldEQStateWhere (which is where the user would select the state whose locations are to be updated eg CA) I also have the command button which is called CommandEQUpdate. Hope this is ok. "Ken Snell [MVP]" wrote: OK - so now the next step will be to build the form that you'll use for entering/selecting the parameters and then running the update query, correct? Which parameters will you want to enter/select on the form? I assume account number, SITEDEDAMT, and perhaps others? Which of these do you want to select from a combo box? which do you want to allow the user to enter as a typed-in value? Set up the form accordingly...put textboxes and/or combo boxes on it.

OK - we're close now! :-)
First, may I suggest that you use a combo box for the account number entry/selection? That way, your users won't need to be concerned if they should enter an incorrect account number. Similarly, use combo boxes for the country and for the state selections. Again, it avoids the possibility of the user entering an incorrect value, and makes your validation much easier. For all three of these comboboxes, be sure to set the LimitToList property to Yes to avoid people typing an invalid value into the combobox for use. Also, note that a textbox and a combo box, etc. are called controls on a form or a report; fields are in tables. Controls can be bound to fields, but they are not the same things. In my example code below, I am assuming that you will do some validation on the SITEDEDAMT value (I've arbitrarily selected some limits that you can change). Also, I am assuming that no validation is needed for the account number, state, and country information as I will assume that you will use comboboxes, per my suggestion above. OK - so what we want the command button to do is to run the update query. The following code procedure needs to be put on the Click event of the CommandEQUpdate button. If you don't know how to do this, let me know. Private Sub CommandEQUpdate_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim strSQL As String On Error GoTo Err_Click ' Validate the value entered for the update value If Me.FieldUpdateEQDedTo.Value 0 Or _ Me.FieldUpdateEQDedTo.Value 25 Then MsgBox "The value you entered is out of range.
