This is my coding so far:

SELECT MailAddress,PropAddress,
(CASE WHEN MailAddress IS NULL THEN PropAddress ELSE MailAddress END)
FROM tblCapRec

It is not inserting into the table though. It displays it into a new "made-up" column, but it doesn't replace the NULL with a mailing address. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ok...

This will show you what you're going to change:
Select newMailAddress = isnull(MailAddress,PropAddress), oldMailAddress = MailAddress, PropAddress From tblCapRec

This will change it:
for update:
Update tblCapRec
Set MailAddress = isnull(MailAddress,PropAddress)
From tblCapRec

for insert into new table:
Insert Into YourNewTableName
Select MailAddress = isnull(MailAddress,PropAddress), PropAddress
From tblCapRec

Does that get it?

I need to do something like this, but it won't work:

Update tblCapRec
Set MailAddress = ISNULL(MailAddress,PropAddress)
Set MailCity = ISNULL(MailCity,PropCity)
Set MailState = ISNULL(MailState,PropState)
Set MailZipCode = ISNULL(MailZipCode,PropZipCode)
From tblCapRec

What do I need to change?

put commas in:

Update tblCapRec
Set
MailAddress = ISNULL(MailAddress,PropAddress),
MailCity = ISNULL(MailCity,PropCity),
MailState = ISNULL(MailState,PropState),
MailZipCode = ISNULL(MailZipCode,PropZipCode)
From tblCapRec
