Need field initialized with zero

[KennyRohan]

I am setting up a database with a write-back feature in certain fields. In order to do this, the specific field needs to be initialed as a "number" with a value of zero. When I set up the table and define the field as a number, will this set the field in ALL records to zero or must I physically place a zero in each record? Thank you.

If you have existing records, you will need to update the existing records to zero.
