Like this:

<cfquery datasource="#request.myDSN#">
ALTER TABLE myusers ALTER Status text(255) NULL ;
</cfquery>

In my CMS' installer tests, Access XP was found to throw an error when
ALTER
statements are combined into a single cfquery.  So I do one ALTER per
cfquery if I have to alter multiple fields in a single table.  This
combined way is what I used to do (note it adds fields rtather than
altering existing ones):

<cfquery datasource="#request.myDSN#">
ALTER TABLE mytopics
ADD myKeywords text(255) NULL,
ADD myDescr text(255) NULL,
ADD myRevision memo NULL,
ADD myProc text(255) NULL ;
</cfquery>

HtH,
