I have two tables - a MasterTable and a ChildTable - related by a field "PO_Number" (set as Primary key in the MasterTable) There is a column "PO_Status" in the MasterTable and its corresponding column "Status" in the ChildTable. I need to refresh a column in the MasterTable automatically, as below: For a particular "PO_Number": If the "Status" for All of the records (in the ChildTable) is blank; then the "PO_Status" of the MasterTable should display "Not done". If the "Status" for any of the record (in the ChildTable) has a value "Done"; then the "PO_Status" of the MasterTable should display "Partially done". If the "Status" for All the records (in the ChildTable) has a value "Done"; then the "PO_Status" of the MasterTable should display "Completed". Help from the Access programmers will be highly appreciated.
