Solved Update Query Based on Columns in Another Table

[Benno2805]

I have 2 tables.

Table one [Person_Details]

Person ID	Date of Birth	Age in Days	Age Range
KL123	26/07/1994	10254	26-40
DJ348	24/01/2000	8346	18-25

Table two [Age_Range]

Min Age Days	Max Age Days	Age Range
0	6570	<18
6570	9490	18-25
9490	14965	26-40

I want to update Age Range in table 1 from table 2, based on the Age in Days value.

There might be an easier way of doing this, and i'd be grateful for any advice. But I can't figure this out at all.

thanks

you can remove the [Age in Days] and [Age Range] fields from Person_Details table since you
can calculate it using Query:

here is your Query:

Select
    [Person ID],
    [Date of birth],
    Date() - [Date of birth] As [Age in days],
    (Select [Age Range] From [Age_Range]
                            Where (Date() - [Person_Details].[Date of birth]) Between [Min Age Days] And [Max Age Days]) As [Age Range]
From [Person_Details];

see Person_Details table on the demo db.
see how it is computed in the query, see Query1.

Instead of constantly updating tables, one would rather calculate variable data in queries. Table Person_Details gets by with the first two fields.

SELECT
   PD.PersonID,
   PD.DOB,
   AR.AgeRange
FROM
   Person_Details AS PD,
   Age_Range AS AR
WHERE
   DateDiff("d", PD.DOB, Date()) BETWEEN AR.MinAgeDays
      AND
   AR.MaxAgeDays

Great, so much simpler, thank you
