    Assuming that PoS_scan contains Text data, you can do this:

    UPDATE table1 SET PoS_scan = ""

    or

    UPDATE table1 SET PoS_scan = Null

    I don't know. Please post your code and describe how it is "not working" (error messages, etc.)

    The code I am using is as follows

    UPDATE table1 SET PoS_scan = "0"

    I am not getting any error codes or anything do I need to link it to the data1 control unit before I run the command?

    Post more of your code. We can't tell if it's a syntax error or WHAT with that little piece of code!
