Not to mention that it would also be more portable (considering that the MS SQL Server topic was included in this thread).

Good Day Experts,<br />
I have never executed a Vlookup in Access and was wondering if I could get some assistance.<br />
I have two tables FACMatch and CSWMatch, I would like to compare or match any cert num in FACMatch with cardholderid in CSWMatch. &nbsp;I also need to remove the last two digits of the cardholderid before performing the Vlookup. &nbsp;For your review I have attached the accdb. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.<br />

CSWMatch.accdb

Good Day Experts,
I have never executed a Vlookup in Access and was wondering if I could get some assistance.
I have two tables FACMatch and CSWMatch, I would like to compare or match any cert num in FACMatch with cardholderid in CSWMatch.  I also need to remove the last two digits of the cardholderid before performing the Vlookup.  For your review I have attached the accdb. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Vlookup in Access

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.
