  • If sex is 'm', you want it to display 'f'? if it's not 'm' you want to display 'm'?? Commented Jun 11, 2015 at 11:04
  • I wants vice versa, m to 'f' and f to 'm' Commented Jun 11, 2015 at 20:10

CASE ... WHEN is not supported in Access SQL. You can use an IIf expression instead.

UPDATE Gender SET sex = IIf(sex = 'm', 'f', 'm')
