I thought I had a handle on this but its not working. I did a search but still cannot get it to work.

I'm trying to replace blanks in a table field with a string. Right now, I have an update query with criteria "Is Null" or "" which identifies all my blanks. In 'Update To' a put "string". When I try to review the results, it still just brings back all the blanks?

Any help?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
This may be a stupid question, but did you actually run the update query?

Thanks for the help
