[AccessD] Update Query - Need to Speed It Up

Zero length string is okay.  I could live with null if it went faster.  Otherwise it makes no difference.

  How long is too long? With 2 million records, and Jet, just how fast do you want it to be??? :) 

  And about that blank -- do you really mean a zero-length string or did you really want Null?

    Dear List:

    I am running an update query on a table with 2,500,000 records and it's taking just a bit too long for the my and the client's liking.  
    The SQL is:

    UPDATE tblInvoiceDetail SET tblInvoiceDetail.fldInvoiceDetailPPV = """", tblInvoiceDetail.fldInvoiceDetailVariancePercent = 0;

    It's setting one field to blank the other to 0.

    Is there a way to make it run any faster?
