I have inherited a databse fom another developer and in one of the tables it contains a text field. A user has contacted me to say that they made an error when entering some details. The details are held in the Text field on the table. When i go into the table to change the details the text field just reads <Long Text>.
How can i edit this text field?

Do it from query analyser.

update set tbl set txtfld = '....' where pk = '...'

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Hi,

You can use update query from query analyser (professional Method)
or make a link database from microsoft access thrue odbc to your sql server -database-table and you can do what you want from there
(ATTENTION TO DROP THE LINK LATER FOR SECURITY REASON)

Thanks,

Tarek Ghazali
