Referring to tables in a query

I want to be able to use DLookup in a query, extracting a value from a
Table to form a new field in the query.

For interest, I have a record of Beetle sightings and record a unique
number (J) for each species. I have a table that defines Beetle
families as those that belong to the set J(lowest) and J(highest).

eg the Family A consists of all beetles with numbers between 5 and
1500.

I want to show a report of selected beetles, presented by named
families, without needing to add the family to every record.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks,

Brian

You could probably use nested iif statements in your SQL string to
create a calculated field, but you can't sort or group by calculated
fields. You might be able to turn it into an Insert Into statement to
populate a properly structured temporary table which could then in
turn be used for the report.

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