Query Formula - Awarding Grades
Well, my question is an important one but it should be easy for some to answer with advanced experience of MS Access:
The general aim of my case study is to produce a database which manages the re-marking of examination scripts.
I have two tables; One with candidate and the other with subject information (which includes grade boundaries).
With a query, I would like to link these tables so that I can produce a number of results that the case study requires of me.

What formula would you suggest I use if I wanted a field to produce the "grade" (e.g. A,B,C) using the information of "mark" and "maxmark"?
Thank you for reading my question. :-)

What is the structure of your tables ?
Fieldnames would be nice at least. But Just make a query and add tyge to tables and make a link between the equal fields. (pull the id field over to the eqiuvalent in the other table) Then add your selected output fields.(doubleclick)

I want to produce a double IF statement to calculate the students grade in a query. Is this is enough information for you to help? :)

For show all cases:
SELECT candidate.candidate, subjectinfo.subject
FROM candidate, subjectinfo;
For number of cases:
SELECT Count(*)
FROM candidate, subjectinfo;
Hope can help..
SELECT candidate.candidate, subjectinfo.subject

Well, I fixed it myself. I worked at the 'percentage' first and used the statement:
new grade: IIf([percentage]>=[a],"A",
new grade: IIf([percentage]>=[a],"A",
Isn't that basically exactly what I posted?
