Keith writes "Hello -

I am running MS SQL 7.0, sp3. I am running an application called iManage which creates it's own table structure in a SQL database. There is one large table named Docmaster. Within Docmaster, there is a column named Docloc. Basically this column lists the file location of certain files stored in a NT file share. Each row within this table is one of these files.

Okay, here is what I need help with. Roughly there are about 5000 rows in the Docmaster table. Every row in the Docloc column should look something like this...

DOCUMENTS:\IMANAGE\ADMINIST\0\1\1.1
DOCUMENTS:\IMANAGE\ADMINIST\0\1\2.1
DOCUMENTS:\IMANAGE\ADMINIST\0\1\2.2

After a bad import, roughly 500 rows in this column look something like this...

D:\WORK_VAULT\IMANAGE\ADMINIST\0\1\3.1
D:\WORK_VAULT\IMANAGE\ADMINIST\0\1\4.1
D:\WORK_VAULT\IMANAGE\ADMINIST\0\1\4.2

Is there a way to run an update statement on a certain amount of rows to change part of a row? For instance, I would like to run an update statement to change the D:\WORK_VAULT to DOCUMENTS:\.

I hope this makes sense. I am not quite sure how to do this. Maybe the user of a wildcard or something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Keith"
