SharePoint 2010 Document Library
I have a document library in SharePoint that houses over 400 documents.
Within this document library is a column titled "Status".
All of the documents fall under 1 of 2 Statuses, "Active" and "Archive"
Is there a way I can change the status of all of the "Active" documents to "Archive" without having to edit each document one at a time?

You need to change the update command to something like this:
Open in new window
If you have never done this before be very very careful and make sure you have backups available. I would revommend you trying this on a test site before doing anythign on the live site.
