    depends if this is a onetime requirement. You could go into table design, delete the field then save then reinstated the field if required

    Or with a query, if you just want to remove the values

    Code:
    UPDATE myTable
    SET myField=Null

    This is something that I have to do once a year. The field that I want to clear impacts other fields that are calculated based on the entry in the first field. So I'm going to go with the Query method.

    Thank you.
