I have a table called tbl_Main with a field text field "Calc" and a field called "NewCalc".
"calc" reads (is connected) from a table called "tbl_Calculator" the field called "CalcDescription".

I need to create a query that reads the field "Calc" and identify the ID from the tbl_Calculator and insert that ID into the "NewCalc" field.

Help

Thanks

You could do that using an update query.....

UPDATE tbl_Main INNER JOIN tbl_Calculator ON tbl_Main.calc = tbl_calculator.calcdescription SET tbl_Main.NewCalc = [tbl_calculator].[ID];
