Is there a function/routine/prayer to copy the names of fields to memory variables?

RE: Field Names
If you give me a bit more detail I would be happy to help. Where do you want to do this? Are you talking about fields in a table or fields on a form?
I am taking a long weekend, though, so I won't be checking my email notification until Tuesday.

RE: Field Names
Thank you for trying to help me with this one. I'll give you a bit of history about what I'm trying to do and why so you can get a better idea of what I'm getting myself into.
I'm trying to create a "Simple" database to record student assignment grades for a number of courses. I have created the following main tables:
tblCourses - The courses offered by the college. Primary key (PK) = CourseID
tblUnits - The units that make up the courses. PK=UnitID
tblAssignments - The assignments set for the units/course - each assignment has a unique code. PK=AssignmentID.
tblStudents - PK StudentID
I have another table called tblResults where I store the grades awarded to the students for assignments:
---------------------------------------------------------
AssignmentID StudentID Grade
AVCE1-1-1 1 P
AVCE1-1-1 2 P
AVCE1-1-1 3 P
AVCE1-1-1 4 M
AVCE1-1-1 5 P
AVCE1-1-2 4 P
AVCE1-1-2 5 P
---------------------------------------------------------
When a lecturer/admin person comes to enter the data into this table I would like to present the assignments results in a more organised manner.
I lecturer needs to select their course, then course Id then I require a form/table to appear showing all the students down the left hand side and the assignments id's at the column headings.
Using a crosstab query and create table query I can produce a temporary table called tblTemp which I can edit and update:
StudentID AVCE1-1-1 AVCE1-1-2
1 P M
2 P
3 P
4 M P
5 P P
What I need is a way of getting this data back into tblResults correctly.
I am stumped at this stage. I think I've got it right so far. However I have a feeling there is a better way of doing this.
Surely there must be a wizard/add-in or routine out there which will do this sort of thing. I can't beleive that I am the only person who has come up against this problem.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me on this problem.
