<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have some records in an Access database (using SQL Express for backend) where the ORD_ID field values start with an &quot;E&quot;<br />
<br />
e.g. E000001234<br />
<br />
I need help with a query where I can only find ORD_ID that start with an &quot;E&quot; and then update the E to X or something else. <br />

Can someone help me?

Help with query in Access

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
