A solution on that depends strongly on how much values A.Afn would take. For
3, it's still okay. But i wouldn't do more.

Against what shall the B.Bfn* be checked? What Data do you want to be
returned
from the query?

try:

SELECT ### FROM A, B WHERE
  ((A.Afn=1) AND (B.Bfn1 = ...)) OR
  ((A.Afn=2) AND (B.Bfn2 = ...)) OR
  ((A.Afn=3) AND (B.Bfn3 = ...))

where you should replace ### with things you want to select and ... with the
things you want to check.

On more than 3 different values for A.Afn, you should use a more normalized
version of B.

i.e.: B contains only one Bfn field and a Reference to A.Afn.
 -> SELECT ### FROM A, B WHERE B.AfnRef = A.Afn AND B.Bfn = ...
