Title: Updating an integer and/or character column

Dear List,

I'm having trouble updating an integer column in one of my MapInfo tables.  I want to add a number 2 to a column titled LandUse.  I go to Table Update Column, select the appropriate table and column.  Then in the value section I put LandUse = 2.  I don't get any results or error messages.  The LandUse column appears just as before with a 0 in every field.  I then converted the LandUse column to a character and tried to update the column that way.  This time in Table Update Column in the value section I put LandUse = "2".  This time MI updates the column with an "F".  No matter what character I try to update the column with I get an F.  Does anybody have a clue to what is going on here (for the integer and character column)?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
