I have a tblAddress table with a lookup field called TypeofAddressID.

A company may have many addresses with different TypeofAddressID—such as 1 =
Business, 2 = Mailstop, 3 = PO Box, and so on.

I need to pull out TypeofAddressID # 1. Then if a 1 is not available, give
me the type that is (which may be the PO address or Mailstop).

I tried DLookup, Xor, and IIf([TypeofAddressID]=1, 1, IIf([TypeofAddressID]=2,
2, IIf([TypeofAddressID]=3, 3, 4))), but it is listing all addresses per
company instead of either or.

Any suggestions?

One method.

SELECT tblCompanies.*, tblAddress
FROM tblCompanies INNER JOIN tblAddress
ON tblCompanies.CompanyID = tblAddress.CompanyID
WHERE tblAddress.TypeOfAddressID =
(SELECT Min(Temp.TypeOfAddressID)
FROM tblAddress as TEMP
WHERE Temp.CompanyID = tblAddress.CompanyID)

If that is too slow then post back for an alternative query. When you do tell
us the names of the key fields and the names of the tables involved.

Thanks John,

I ran Database Documenter, so here are the tables and fields:

Table: Address
AddressID
CompanyID
AddressAttention Text
AddressStreetNumber
AddressPreDirection_Lkp
StreetID
StreetTypeID
AddressPostDirection_Lkp
DesignationTypeID
AddressDesignation
AddressBoxType_Lkp
AddressBoxNumber
AddressCity
AddressCounty
AddressState
AddressPostalCode
CountryID
TypeofAddressID
AddressAssignedTo
AddressAssignedToName
AddressInactive

Table: Company
CompanyID
CompanyDateEntered
CompanyName
CompanyAlsoKnownAs
CompanyFormerlyKnownAs
CompanyEmployerIdentificationNumber
DepartmentID
CompanyEmail
CompanyWebsite

Table: tlkpTypeofAddress
TypeofAddressID
TypeofAddressName

All the schooling I went to teach that the address info is added in the
company table, but in reality many companies have more than one address.
Even the many many books I have read all put address data with the company
table--you know, Address1, Address2, and so on.

I did the address like this to handle the various addresses; also, to help
with data entry and spelling. So far in Excel there are about 3,000 records
I will be exporting to Access.

Hey John,

I think I finally got your code to work. Below is what I created in a new
query and it seems to have done the job:

SELECT Address.*
FROM Company INNER JOIN Address ON Company.CompanyID = Address.CompanyID
WHERE (((Address.TypeOfAddressID)=(SELECT Min(Temp.TypeOfAddressID)
FROM Address as TEMP
WHERE Temp.CompanyID = Address.CompanyID)));

When I took a break and came back, then the code became clear of what you
were saying.

Thanks!!!
