AutoLookup query to update source table

S

Susanne

I am working on a training records database. I have
created a course lookup table - this has key;
coursetitle; clustertopic and category. In the training
events table I want to be able to select a course title
from the linked categories table and the other 2 fields
to be entered automatically.

I have created an autolookup query to automatically
insert the rest of the info (two fields) from the lookup
table - this works fine in the query but I can't work out
how to update the original main table with the 'foreign
fields' data. Can anyone help, please?

Thanks in advance

Why do you need all of this information entered into another table?
Typically, you only need to store the courseID.
