Steve:

I have two tables RefDocsAddy and RefDocsWithAddress.

RefDocsAddy has the following fields: Number, Name, Speciality, City
RefDoscWithAddress has the more fields in addtion to the fields in RefDocsAddy

What I am trying to accomplish is, if there is a matching value in the Number fields of both tables, then I want RefDocsAddy.Speciality and RefDocsAddy.City to be inserted into RefDocsWithAddress.Speciality and RefDocsWithAddress.Location. Then move to the next record and if there is a match, do the same.

Hope I am making sense. Thanks.
