Update or Append Help with Criteria

[Lou]

Good Day!

I have 2 tables;

1st is "tblQuarters" with the following data,
[FiscalYear],[Quarter],[Begin] and [End] - begin and end
are the beginning date and ending date.

2nd is "tblMain2" - which has [Definite] and [Quarter] -
the quarter is blank currently and the definite has a date.

The "tblMain2" table is updated based of an append query
which I will update each quarter. what I need to do though
is have a query update the quarter based of
my "tblQuarter", I am not sure what direction to go here,
a vlookup maybe or an IIF..? So in recap, have a query
look up the [definite] date in "tblmain2" in
the "tblQuarters" table and bring back the right quarter
based on its date and update "tblMain2" [Quarter].

Thank you.
Lou
