No that's actually multiplying the value and setting it eqaal to the left
side of the equation.

Var1 *= Var2 is the equivalent of Var1 = Var1 * Var2

Works in VB but not VBA (There are others like +=, /=, etc....)

where     bc.carrera=a.carrera
and bc.plan_estud=a.plan_estud
and a.boleta*=k.boleta

=======Ran across what appears to be an unusual syntax -- the use of * in a
field name? Is that what this is? What does this mean or am I
misunderstanding what I'm seeing?
