Hi,

I have just added a field (called "Org Data Set" ) to a table with over
40,000 records. I want to populate each record identically with the name
"DEQ". Do I have to write a query to do this or is there a way to mass
populate the table outside of a query? Thanks.
 
Why would you not want to use a query?

Just create an update query to update that field with the value. Run it,
then delete it.
 
So yes, then, I do need to use a query. Thanks
