iif statement within query

Hi

From the result of an iif query, is it possible to change the value of
a another field, other than the field with the iif query?

Many Thanks

Alec

Here goes!, I hope I can explain this in more detail

I have three fields PartNo, Description, and Finish

Both the PartNo and Description have information regarding the Finish

So basically I want to query the PartNo and Description to determine
the Finish

There can be 3 or 4 options within both PartNo and Description to
determine the Finish

I have used a complex nested iif on PartNo which works, but want to do
this on Description, both in the same query to infulence Finish

Regards

Alec

Perhaps it would be simpler to have a helper table, which for each
combination of PartNo and Description shows which Finish to use.

Or perhaps a VBA function to return the Finish based on PartNo and
Description passed in.
