Yeah, it's called RPG <grin>.

Yup - I wholeheartedly agree Joe. It is just that I keep hearing that SQL
is the answer to everything so I was trying to see how to use it here. It
is fundamentally a very simple task and yet I just couldn't see how to make
it work.

I'm still not seeing how your or Birgitta's solution identifies _which_
columns in A are empty (i.e. they are blanks or nulls) and only update them
from B when they are currently empty. But I'll try to get my head around it
this morning.

Thanks to both yourself and Birgitta.
