Hi Ted, I believe you are looking for UPDATE ..... (no WHERE clause).
Warning: This will update ALL fields within a column. INSERT... will insert a single datarecord, while UPDATE... will change a value of a single field usually, but without WHERE clause it will update ALL fields in a column. Be careful with UPDATE .. when not using a WHERE clause. I suggest you try this on a test database as otherwise you may want to blame me for the advice given ;-).
