Not sure what you mean, but it sounds like you are still thinking in
Excel terms... vlookup/hlookup are Excel, with no Access equivalent. An
Access table represents a collection of similar entities (e.g. peolpe),
"columns" (Fields in Access terms) correspond to attributes of an entity
(e.g. last name, first name, date of birth, gender etc), each "row"
(Record in Access terms) represents a single entity (a person in this
example) and is identified by means of a unique value in a field that is
designated as a primary key (a Social Security Number would make a good
PK). So, to get the last name of a person with a given SSN, you would
use a query or a DLookup function, obviously in a defferent way than you
would do it in Excel. To begin with, your data in a table must be
meaningful as per the above example (one record for each one of similar
entities represented in a table, each with a unique identifier and a set
of values for different attributes). Is your data arranged like this? If
yes, what are you trying to achieve?
