Hi all,

Can you create a Dlookup based on the different criteria's? So for example I have a flange register, on that register there is a field for torque value. Now this value can change if the bolt size is different, if the gasket is different or if the bolt material is different. Each one of these has a separate field also. Is there a way of doing a dlookup so if the flange is a 1" 150# with B8 bolts that are 1/2" and the gasket is spiral wound the torque figure = 100lbft

I hope this makes sense!!

Many thanks

Chris

Did you try the Common Formats from above?
DLookup("CustomerID", "CustomerT", "FirstName=""" & FN & """ AND LastName=""" & LN & """")

Yes it is possible. However, You can only look up what you already have in the table or query you are looking up from.

Check out Value from a Form
also look into the Search Seminar

I see that you have started the Beginner Series and some of this is pretty complicated if you don't have a good base to work from.
Keep following the courses in order to make sure you develop that base.
