I have an Access data base that has acumulated 7 years of HR info. We plan to
moving this info
to HR Application. The new application has a field called [EmpStat}.

On my access data base I do not have a [EMPStat] field but I do have a
[Termation date].

Because we have a lot of employees that have terminated it would be great to
import into
the HR program the word "Terminated" into [EMPStat].

How can I do the following in a table: create a new column and call it
[empstat] then say

If [Termination Date] Is Not Null put "Terminated" in the [empstat] field.

If I'm able to do this it would eliviate a lot of manual labor

Thanks

After you added the EmpStat field you can run a query like:
UPDATE YourTabel SET EmpStat="Terminated" WHERE NOT
IsNull([Termination Date])
