Ahhhh...

Can this be done within MS Query by updating the SQL?

Rather than using a SELECT SQL statement you need to use an UPDATE one -
the

Don't be put off by how complex it looks - the examples at the bottom
should
help. As a rough idea, if you have a table with two fields, you can update
field one based on the value of field 2 with a statement as follows:

UPDATE table1
SET field1 = 'New field 1 value' WHERE field2 = 'field 2 criterion'

I am able to edit the data via Access and linking the table but I cannot

a way of doing this in Excel.

Any suggestions?
