Update Table

[aMack]

I have a table which needs to be updated with data from another table. The
problem is the second table has 2 data fields and I cannot link the 2
tables...........

Table one contains Transaction data such as [Date] [From] [To] [Trucker]
[Trucker Cost]. I need to update a field [FSC]. "Fuel Surcharge"

The rates are maintained in another table "FSC Rates" because the rate
changes weekly. It only has 2 data fields [Effective date], [FSC].

I need to update table one based on the [Date] of the activity and the
[Effective date] in the rate table.

ie: [Max of Date] where [Date] is less than the [Effective Date]

How do I perform this task?

Do I need to change my table structure?

Thanks

Try this query to find the effective FSC rate for each Date. Then us an
update query to do the updating.

P.S. You should use a different name for your field other than Date.

The Field name is not Date - I just used it to simplify my explanation.

Karl:

Not sure what "query" you refer to.

If the in: microsoft.public.access.queries is a link it doesn't take me
anywhere.

What am I doing wrong?

OOPS!
Forgot to paste.

SELECT aMack.Date, Max([FSC Rates].[Effective date]) AS [FSC Effective
Date], Last([FSC Rates].FSC) AS [FSC Rate]
FROM aMack, [FSC Rates]
WHERE ((([FSC Rates].[Effective date])<=[date]))
GROUP BY aMack.Date;
