Yes, but are you updating different data sets? With indexes are you only
updating those needing updating, without indexes updating all?

1:44 without indexes; 1:17 with indexes. Go figure

Well I'll try a benchmark with no indexes - see if it's faster.

Rocky,
Part of the problem is that the fields are indexed. Using the indexes
to select only the fields that need updating is appropriate of course if
it's not all the records that need updating. The other option is to delete
the index, update, then rebuild the index. Apparently after each update
(each record) Access foes in and adjusts the index. Removing the index
entirely, doing the updates, then rebuilding the index from scratch is
SUPPOSED to be faster. never actually tried it tho.

8:10. But with Erwin's filter 1:28. Next stop, I guess is MSDE.

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?
MTIA,
