Lookup table question

JK
I have two linked tables. One with several million records that include
"price paid". The second with price increments like "Between 1 and
100,000" and "Between 100001 and 200000" etc. Is there some way to link
them so that I can sum and count by increment?

Kinda like Excel's vlookup function with a "false" at the end so it
looks up the next value?

If your lookup table contains a column for the low value and a
separate column for the high value, put the two tables into the
query grid, don't link them, and just use criteria to select
the right value.

Example 1) lookup.lowval <= maintable.price paid, and
lookup.highval >= maintable.price paid
Example2 maintable.price paid Between lookup.lowval and
lookup.highval

Take the following database structure: SQL-Server Database: Table 1:

Hi all, My application uses a lot of lookup tables. I've splitted the frontend (forms, reports, etc) from the backend (data). The database has around 10 different users. The values in the lookup tables are not likely to change. Question 1: Should I include them in the backend (with rest of data) or the frontend?

I've been reading about how evil Lookup fields in tables are, but I've got to be missing something really basic.

Let's say I have a table for addresses, and it includes a field for state. What I would...

I have a database with four table. In one of the tables, I use about five lookup fields to get populate their dropdown list. I have read that lookup fields are really bad and may cause problems that are hard to find. The main problem I am having right now is that I have a report that is sorted by one of these lookup fields and it only displays the record's ID number. When I add the source table to the query it makes several records...

Hi- I've seen this problem discussed a jillion times but I cannot seem to implement any advice that makes it work. I am porting a large project from VB6 to .NET. The issue is using the combo box bound to a table as a lookup, drawing values from another table to populate the available selections. This all worked fine in VB6. I have distilled the problem down to a simple form drawing data from the Northwind database for a representative...

I am working on an electronic flashcard program. Most of the subjects are simple lists of questions and answers. Those seem to be working. Some of the "subjects" have "categories" of questions. One example is a kind of trivia subject. There are several "categories" such as "geography", "history", etc., like in the Trivial Pursuit game. Each card has a question in each category.

In my form (table A) I have subform (table B (only 2 fieds: ID and App_name) where table A -Table B are linked 1XM. To be able to add a record in the subform I want to use a lookup form since the number of possible values is over 300. For data consistancy I've locked the subform so that the user can't add or change values manually without using the lookup form. My question is: What's the best way of adding the record to table B which the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
