I have a query that looks for previous entries and then makes updates to a table. Is there a way to keep the query result window from showing but still use the results? This will eventually be a user interface and I don't want them to see the window.

Hi. You don't have to open a query to use its results. Try it and let us know if it doesn't work.

Why? This sounds like you've set up your database incorrectly. You don't store calculated values in a table, instead you calculate them in a query and reference the query when you need that value.

Why are you storing that value?

AS always thank you for your reply. As it turns out while trying to figure this out, that query is no longer needed because of other functions I have created in the database. I appreciate your help!

I'm not storing the value, but thank you for your insight. This query became redundant as I continued to build so I just do not have to use it. Thank you very much for your help!
