Updating a field

I have managed to get a little bit of VB working (this is very simple but I
feel very pleased with myself!) but I am sure there is a neater way of doing
it.

I want the value of Field 2 to update when any of certain values are entered
into Field 1 viz:


Private Sub Field 1_AfterUpdate()

If Me.Field 1 = "A" Then
Me.Filed 2 = "Z"
End If

If Me.Field 1 = "B" Then
Me.Field 2 = "Z"
End If

If Me.Field 1 = "C" Then
Me.Field 2 = "Z"
End If

If Me.Field 1 = "D" Then
Me.Field 2 = "Z"
End If

End Sub

I tried listing the values separated by OR and that didn't seem to work and
then separated by a comma and then by a semi-colon and neither of those
works. Can someone point me in the right direction?


Thanks,



Gavin
 
Gavin,
I think what you want is:
If Me.Field 1 = "A" Or Me.Field 1 = "B" (and so on) Then
Me.Field 2 = "Z"
End If

Thanks very much, Geof. I did try using OR but I obviously got the syntax
wrong!


Regards,




Gavin
