[AccessD] Query Question

There you see, that's just the sort of thing I had in mind. Thanks Drew. I
just knew the answer was something like this but couldn't have come up with
the syntax. Do these subqueries perform ok though?

Sounds like a job for a subquery:

SELECT T1.LookupValue, (SELECT Result1 FROM LKUP WHERE
RangeStart<=T1.LookupValue AND RangeEnd>=T1.LookupValue) AS Result1,
(SELECT Result2 FROM LKUP WHERE RangeStart<=T1.LookupValue AND
RangeEnd>=T1.LookupValue) AS Result2
FROM Table1 as T1

Hi folks
Looking for best solution to a simple problem. It's of the "if var is
anything between x and y return this value, if anywhere between xx and
yy
return that etc". I'll express it in its most basic form:

Table LKUP has fields
[RangeStart], [RangeEnd], [Result1], [Result2] and looks like this

0 14.9 1500 1700
15 24.9 2000 2500
25 99.9 2350 2900

([RangeEnd] is probably superfluous but I hope it makes the example
clearer)

Table1 has (among others) field [LookupValue]

I want a query which if [LookupValue] on Table1 is anywhere between 0
and
14.9 returns 1500 and 1700 from Lkup, if it's between 15 and 24.9
returns
2000 and 2500, and anything from 25 upwards returns 2350 and 2900.

My solution is this:
SELECT Table1.[LookupValue],Max([Lkup].Result1) ,Max([Lkup].Result2)
FROM Table1 LEFT JOIN [Lkup] ON Table1.[LookupValue] >=
[Lkup].[RangeStart]
GROUP BY Table1.[LookupValue];

Seems to work but because it uses Max it depends on the values in
Result1
and Result2 getting larger as the lookups get larger. If they didn't
then
the Max would return the wrong results (I think).

Any other, or better, ideas?
