Update query with query name

[trab]

I have table which I add records to on a monthly basis. I then populate fields using a succession of update queries. I would like to update a field, which tells me which update query was used to update that record. Is that possible without simply using free-text?

i think no possible, you have to hard-code the query name.

cant you add the name into the query?

Thankyou all. Not the answer I was hoping for, though - I wondered whether access would have some trick up its sleeve, maybe somewhere in the Build option. I have over 40 update queries, and I didn't relish having to edit them all. In the end, I went along with the VBA route using a variable for the query name.

hello trab:


i am wrong, it can be done using query:


Update yourTable Set [nameOfQueryField]=[CurrentObjeName]
