Well, you can certainly use query to update the tables. for Maintaining point you should have the values first and then use query/Recordset per table to update them. My personal choice is to use insert/update query.

However, it is true that this is much more obvious when one is retrieving data with SQL (SELECT) -- rather than when one is just using an UPDATE or INSERT query.

Dave,
I wrote use Insert/Update query to update the tables. By this way there will be no need to use Recordset object at all. Here purpose was to update the tables, so i don't find any point in creating the recordset object with table locking and high state of cursor. Simple things should have been done by simple way. Don't you think so.? :cool:
