Thanks - I've used PGAdmin to update the tables before but as there is a few of them I wanted to save time. I was looking at the UPDATE command but didn't know how to (1) select only part of a field to update eg. update d:\upkeep\jones to r:\upkeep\jones and (2) search all columns and all tables. Am I looking at the right command?

My postgres crash problem is on Win2K. Any ideas?

i'm no expert, but i'll bite. yes, you could do that
if you set up a program to run the SQL on all the
tables.

it would probably be easier to just run the SQL on the
individual tables, though. i'd use pgadminIII.

do you need help with the SQL?

ps - is your pgsql crash problem on winxp?
