How big is the content of these columns?

This is a solution I too have been looking for, but what about if the NTEXT field is part of replication? &nbsp;Where would BEGIN TRAN and COMMIT TRAN belong so that the pointer is all in 1 transaction?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Using an SQL query I need to combine several ntext columns into one preexsisting column. &nbsp;Some columns may be NULL.<br />
<br />
Table [Community Profile]<br />
<br />
Columns [Community Sales Points],[General Notes],[Public Private Elem Secondary],[Colleges Universities],[Outdoor Activities],[Cultural Activities],[Shopping],[In<wbr />dustry],[R<wbr />estaurant]<wbr />,[Church Denominations],[Health Fitness Ctrs]<br />
<br />
I want to combine all columns into the first column [Community Sales Points]. &nbsp;I know this requires using the UPDATETEXT command, but I'm rather confused on the syntax.
