Question : VBA to update field values on a table during a loop

The block of code below imports specific worksheets from 3 different Excel files into one table. Immediately after ‘Year1.xlsx’ is imported into ‘tblMaster’, I need to update the value for each record under field name ‘fldYear’ in the target table (‘tblMaster’).

The value it would update to is from the form control of “[forms]![frmName]![txtYear1]”.

Then when ‘Year2.xlsx’ is imported, ‘fldYear’ would be updated with value listed in “[forms]![frmName]![txtYear2]”. Then the same suit would be followed when importing ‘Year3.xlsx”.

Any insight into this?
