Access Udate Query
I have a Access table (tblExcelProductivity) that includes FullName, FieldOffice, Mnth , and Goal. I would like to use an update query to update the Maximum Goal number with 0 for each like record based on FullName, FieldOffice and Mnth. For example below, Mary has 2 records in Arlington in the month of DEC with Goals of 45 and 67.2. In this case 0 would be updated 67.2 the max for the 2 records.

Why shouldn't Mary's 67.2 not be updated to 45?
All other entries are doubled.

This is not possible. Sometimes it is the last record that should be set to 0, sometimes the (two) first:
| Phillip | MIAMI | Oct | 70,4 | 0 |
| Phillip | MIAMI | Oct | 70,4 | 0 |
| Phillip | MIAMI | Oct | 70,4 |
That can only be done manually.

Why not update 0 to both records in that case
Do you have any key field (record number) in your table? Can we add it?
ASKER
I can add one
Normally this a somewhat easy case except of the one with the "PHILIP" entry as mentioned by Gustav...which kind breaks the rules..
I prepared a small application that takes care of it..and it functions in all cases besides the order in "PHILIP"
take a look (the results are put in Goal2 field)

John - I get an error on line firstValue = .Fields("Goal") -variable not defined
