Public Function ValGrade(PrMark As Double) As String
Select Case PrMark
Case 80 To 100
ValGrade = "A"

ValGrade = "A-"
Case 70 To 74
ValGrade = "B+"
Case 65 To 69
ValGrade = "B"
Case 60 To 64
ValGrade = "B-"
Case 55 To 59
ValGrade = "C+"
Case 50 To 54
ValGrade = "C"
Case 45 To 49

What you are asking for is very basic forms development. I think the best advice anyone can give you for now is to go to Help and look at the database sample(s) with your version of Access.You will find very good demonstrations of how to program in Access. Once you work through 1 or 2 examples in the sample db you will know how to do what you are asking about, or you'll be able to frame a more definitive question that we can answer here.

You will be surprised at how simple it quickly becomes for you.

thanks, surprisingly i have found the solution!!
by using lookup in a simple query.

[jimatqsi]

Well, I don't see how lookup relates to editing values, but the important thing is you're learning how to solve problems by your own means. As you get experience it won't be so surprising. :)

We're here when you need help.

Sashasandy:
You are not editing values in the list of the lookup control. This is what you asked for - not what you actually needed, and to confuse matters more, the posted code acts as a red-herring sending us off on some other tangent.

Instead of what you asked and posted code for, what it appears that you needed was to be able to change the value stored in field [Comments]![comment] while limiting it to a known set of values.

If you had clearly asked this question to begin with, we would have had you to that lookup field within a post or two.

BTW: Sashasandy, this is basically the same question you asked in your last thread. How to Customize an IF Function in vba using a form. Although I am flattered that you used the "Select...C ase" construct, I would still suggest looking at Seth's solution using the table and ranges. In fact, using the lookup field you can base the values on a table, once again, making it easier to maintain.

jimatqsi:
As I'm sure you've realized by now, what Sashasandy was asking for was a way to change the value in the field [Comments]![comment] using a standard set of values. Replacing the text more than likely with a numeric.

In anycase, what Sashasandy solution is simply, as jimatqsi well knows, a simple lookup-field... one of the more common tools that we use in queries and forms.
