access thread: update query in Access 97


Message #1 by "Z" <zzz8611@y...> on Fri, 16 Feb 2001 23:27:07
I would like to update a table's field in Access 97.  I have a Project 

name reference table, and I would like to update its name field by 

removing any unwanted single quotes.  I need to set it up in Access for 

the person who maintains it.  Is it possible to do it in a query? I can go 

to edit-replace to do it, but is there a better way in a query?  Thanks.

Why remove single quotes ? If they are there - then they are there for a 

purpose. 



Look at my answer to the mail "Unable update table with single quot record 

( ' ) " - I think you have the same problem.
