    I need to blank out all cells in the color column


    What is the value for the UPDATE query if I need to "blank out" all the cells in a column that the Word BLACK was entered incorrectly?

    What do you mean by Blank Out? Set value to Null? If you require BLACK to be entered correctly then why not add code to eliminate this?

    Maybe:

    UPDATE tablename SET fieldname = Null WHERE fieldname="Black"

    Use query builder to help build the SQL.
