Access Query

I have a table with approx 270K records.  One colum contains an ID codes i.e. WATUA1, WAXUB0 etc.



I need to change the last to letters to AA, i.e. WATUAA, WAXUAA etc.



How would you write an update query to make the adjustment.



Thanks

Ken

Without a backup you cannot restore the data if this does not work the way you
expect.

UPDATE [YourTable]
SET [ID Codes] = Left([Id Codes],Len([Id Codes])-2) & "AA"
WHERE [Id Codes] is Not Null AND [Id Codes] <> ""
