All I want is to make one field equal another field in the same table.

So I have a field called: Field1
and I want Field2 to have all the same data that Field1 has, how do you write that query?

Thanks

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
In your query, simply add only the new field you want to update (Field2). Then change the query to an Update Query. In the "Update To" line, enter [Field1]. Then run.
