[MS_AccessPros] Changing the contents of a text field

 

I have a database of several tens of thousands of records. The database
has a Long Text field named Comment. Several hundred records end with
the phrase "worked 54 minutes of 1 hour allowed". Those several hundred
records need to be changed to read "worked 60 minutes of 1 hour allowed".

It seems to me (a novice) that the thing to do is to use a query to make
the changes. I can write a SELECT query for the records involved. But I
do not know how to write an UPDATE query that changes "54" to "60" while
leaving the rest of the Comment field of the selected records 
unchanged. Advice please?

Or, if a query is not the way to go, what else is there?

Access 2000 file format.

Thank you.

Steve
