Come to think of a query which joins the tables on BETWEEN…..AND criteria would not be updatable, do you would not be able to create an UPDATE query in fact. However, as I said in my final paragraph you don't need to do so in any case as you can just join the tables in a SELECT query and avoid the redundancy. This would not be updatable, but if you did want to update the item rows in a form which shows the category for each item,...
