autofilling a rate field in a form based on values selected from 6

From Previous Post

I have a table that has a delivery yard, pickup yard, and type of
material(2choices). Based on that combination of what is in those three
fields there is a given RATE. On the form based on this table I would like
the rate to automatically fill based on the combination of the 3 fields
chosen. Seems like it should be easy not sure where I go with this.

Thanks,
Barb

I'd suggest creating a Rates table with four fields - these three as a
joint Primary Key and the corresponding rate. You can then create a
Query joining your current table to this rate table by the three
fields (two yards and a type) to look up the rate.

I did what was recommended below but am having an issue when trying to get
the rate pulled into a tankentryform -based on a query. Not sure what the
query should look like now?? Tried Dlookup on form but having issues with
when delvydnum same with differrent delivydnames. keeps pulling in 1st one
it sees?????

Actually need to have the rate dumped in (preput in- not a calculated
rate)in a RATEtable. Want the rate automatically put in based on actually 6
Fields not just 4 Clientid,pickupydnum,pickupydname, delivydnum, delivydname,
& typeofmat

I am having an issues with having
the same yard numbers for different del yard NAMES

Example:

Prairie Material’s yard # 15(Delivydnum) is Addison(delivydName)

Ozinga Concrete’s yard #15(Delivydnum) is Hampshire(Delivydname).
