I have a table, which contains several fields, which can have a value of 1,2,3 or 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have created another table which has the entries. <br><br>1 Large<br>2 Medium<br>3 Small<br>4 None<br><br>I would like to construct a query which searches the first table, but instead of outputing 1,2,3 or 4, Large, Medium, Small are outputted.. how can I do this?<br>

For a simple example, say TblA has ColA and ColB.&nbsp;&nbsp;ColB is the field with 1, 2, 3, or 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then TblC has ColC and ColD, where ColC is 1, 2, 3, or 4, and ColD is Large, Medium, Small, and None.<br><br>Then construct your query like this:<br><br>Select ColA, ColD<br>From TblA, TblB<br>Where TblA.ColB = TblC.ColC<br><br>For multiple columns in TblA with the same values, it becomes more difficult.&nbsp;&nbsp;To make it easy on myself, I do multiple queries, or have multiple tables but I know that is not really the most efficient use of computer memory.
