Performing Loop query ( for parts replaced)

[Mercadogs]

Hello:

I'm wondering if there is a way to build a query that will repeat itself
based on the its own results.

Here is what I mean:

{Related fields in my table are "PartNumber" and "SupersededBy". If the
PartNumber is not replaced by another part, the field displays "N/A".}

My parameter query should prompt user to enter a "PartNumber". Let's say
"part1" is entered. Assuming that "part 1" is superseded (recplaced) by
"part2", I would like the fields of the first row to contain:

PartNumber="part1", SupersededBy="Part2"

(Simple enough....Here's what I can't figure out

If "part2" has also been superseded, I want the second row of the query
results to return:

PartNumber=part2, SupersededBy=part3

Until say:

PartNumber=part3, SupersededBy="N/A"

At this point is where the query result should stop. So for my example
the query would return 3 records, with fields: PartNumber (and) SupersededBy.

Can something like this be done? Please say yes, please!

Thank you!

This ain't the complete as it returns more than you want. Maybe you can work
on it somemore.
Mercadogs_1 ---
SELECT Mercadogs.PartNumber, Mercadogs.SupersededBy
FROM Mercadogs
WHERE (((Mercadogs.SupersededBy) Is Not Null));

SELECT Mercadogs.PartNumber, Mercadogs.SupersededBy, Mercadogs.Etc
FROM Mercadogs, Mercadogs_1
WHERE (((Mercadogs.PartNumber)=[Enter part number])) OR
(((Mercadogs.PartNumber)=[Mercadogs_1].[SupersededBy]))
GROUP BY Mercadogs.PartNumber, Mercadogs.SupersededBy, Mercadogs.Etc;
