[AccessD] Update query

Sure William

This is a one-time data merge, so calling it from a macro would be fine ....

TIA
Bob

How you execute it depends on what is going on at the time you want it to be
executed. Could you be clearer about whether

1) This is in response to some button the user is clicking
2) You'd like it to run from a macro
3) You'd like it to happen on database startup
4) Something else

Hi Folks

I am having trouble getting an update query to work.

Table1
	Field1HouseNumber (Number, Long Integer)
	Field2StreetID (Number, Long Integer)
	Field3ParcelID (Text) ..................... Currently all empty

Table2
	Field1_loc_st_nbr (Number, Long Integer)
	Field2_loc_st_name_id (Number, Long Integer)
	Field3_parcel_id (Text)

I need to populate Table1, Field3 with the contents of Table2, Field3 *if*
Table1/Field1 = Table2/Field1 <and> Table1/Field2 = Table2/Field2.

My update query has three columns:

Column1
	Field: Field1HouseNumber
	Table: Locations
	Criteria: =[Table2].[Field1]

Column2
	Field: Field1StreetID
	Table: Locations
	Criteria: =[Table2].[Field2]

Column3
	Field: Field3ParcelID
	Table: Locations
	Update To: [Table2].[Field3]

Whe I click on "Run", I received the following error:
	"Type mismatch in expression"

I would *really* appreciate and hekp, suggestions or direction here ... I've
never done an update query that matches on more than one criteria before ...

Thanks
Bob Gajewski
