There is a lot of redundancy in these tables. &nbsp;I think the lookup table is all you need, as it includes the ID, the color pair and the cost for each ID. &nbsp;You can then use the ID in other tables as a foreign key to retrieve the color pair or the cost. &nbsp;

Thanks for your quick response! Well, I'm looking for a query that generates the following: <br />
<br />
Red &nbsp; &nbsp; Green &nbsp; &nbsp;4<br />
Green &nbsp; Blue &nbsp; &nbsp; 3<br />
Red &nbsp; &nbsp; Green &nbsp; 4<br />
Green &nbsp;Green &nbsp; 1<br />
<br />
It takes the table &quot;Color Pairs&quot; and grabs the correct cost based on the pair listed. <br />
<br />
I'm not worried about redundancy... I'm just looking to understand how to generate a query that looks up data and populates a field automatically. Please do not come up with an alternate solution... I need to understand how to use a query in design view to produce this output. <br />
<br />
Thanks!!

Hi, <br />
<br />
I would like a query that takes the two fields from Color Pairs and adds another field that shows the corresponding cost of that pair of colors as given in the Costs for Color Pairs table. Could you help me with this using the design view? I would rather not get into SQL just yet... <br />
<br />
Thanks!!!!<br />

Access 2007 Query - multiple lookup criteria

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.

Microsoft Applications

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
