specified field error

Patrick

I receive an error of specified field [DateProcessed] could refer to more
than one table listed in the from clause of your sql statement.

Here is my statement:
ReferenceNo3: ([DateProcessed]) & IIf([DateProcessed] Is
Null,[DateProcessed],(","+[TableLetter]))

How do I have the [DateProcessed] be selected from the table "Update Table"?

Table].[DateProcessed],(","+[TableLetter]))

If I have a table, tableA, that has the same fields in it can I run an update
query to update the blank referenceno3 field in tableA. For instance the sql
returns 8/12/07,A in the update table and I want that to be put into the
tableA referenceno3 field.

I forgot to mention this. I have a field called ReferenceNo3 in the query
that returns the result ReferenceNo3: ([test update test fruit
inventory].[DateProcessed]) & IIf([test update test fruit
inventory].[DateProcessed] Is Null, [test update test fruit
inventory].[DateProcessed],(","+[TableLetter]))
and I have a blank field ReferenceNo3 in test fruit inventory table that I
would like to be updated by the return value of ReferenceNo3 in the query.
Is this possible? I got the update to work with the all the information
except the ReferenceNo3 field.

There is nothing in the ReferenceNo3 field in the test fruit inventory table
so if I delete that field from the table and leave it in the query will it
create that field in the table?
