database in SQL2K need help in upading/adding 2 memo columns

I have database in SQL2K. I have a memo column called memo1. I want to
update memo with "dicount % "+memo1.
I want to insert "discount %" in front of memo1.
This is going to be just one time shot. There are more 20,000 records need
to be updated.
I would appreciate if someone can help me.
I can run VB program and script so if anyone can help me to create something
in VB, if it is not possible in SQL2K,
I would really appreciate.
ThanksHi,
IN SQL 2000 you could write a simple Update statement
Update Tablename
set memo1 = 'discount % ' + memo1
This will update all the 20K records in a single shot.
Did I answered your question?
Thanks

Looks like your datatype is TEXT. Inthat case you need to use UPDATETEXT
command to update.
