Hi.

If I had a column in Excel where each cell I can simply select the column or the cells I want populated and paste them. How can I do that in Access. I have an excess of 400,000 records. I ran a query and out of those I have about 2000 records which need populating in a single column. Just the same small number for each row. Is there a way I can do this without first copying the number and then pushing "Ctrl+V then Down" 2000 times?

Thanks a bunch. ----------------------------------------

Hallo,

The way to do this in Access is to use an Update Query.
