    Hi,

    i need to update 1500 employee records,

    my new data i have in Excel,
    What is the best way for doing this?

    Tnx

    If it's a one-off, the simplest way is to using the import wizard to load the spreadsheet into a table and then write an update between that table and the employee table to update the employee table.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
