A very simple update query will do this. Create a new Query based on your
table; select the [Termination Date] and EMPStat fields.
Put a criterion of
IS NOT NULL
on [Termination Date], and
IS NULL
on EMPStat (just in case, so you don't destroy existing data).
Change the query to an Update query using the Query menu item or the query
type tool, and put
"Terminated"
on the Update To line under EmpStat. Run the query with the ! icon.
