Hi There 

    Could anyone please help me with the following problem.  
I have a geological drill hole database with a table containing down hole rocktype. 
with fields Hole ID, From, to and rocktype.
I have a second table that I have generated from a gold assay table of intercepts 
which only contains the high grade intercepts.  I have added a rocktype field to this 
intercepts table and I want to update this field with the appropriate rocktype code 
from the rocktype table.  The problem is that the from and to fields in the assay 
table can be different to the from and to's of the rocktype table but are often the 
same.  What I would like to do is update those records which exactly match in the Hole 
ID, From and to fields and then I'll have to go through and manually complete the 
rest.  But how do I do the update column join on the three field matches I want (there 
is no unique identifier for the records).  I want to retain my assay intercept table 
as it is - I can't see how I can use SQL select and achieve this.
Hope thats not too confusing.
Any ideas

            Cheers

                Steve King
