    Data Transfer from one field to another

    Hi,

    I am having a trouble figuring out how would I transfer data from one field to another. My dilemma here is that, I need to replace data in a field and replace it from another field.

    That is:

    I filtered FieldA to the data I want to replace then I want to replace it by the data in FieldB in the same row.

    I have used query to transfer data from FieldB to Field A but all the data was replaced when all I want to replace are the "0" amount in FieldA. So how I'm I gonna do that?
    Is there any easy and fast way? I've been doing it manual and it's around 600,000 records so it would take me forever to finish it.

    Hope I could get a response.

    Thank you.

    Is this a one time operation ?
    If yes, you could use a Make Table Query, which uses an IIF() for creating the new FieldA.

    Thanks
