Need a QUERY to set item message on certain category

Is there a query I could use in ADMINISTRATOR to tell it to assign a particular item message to all products in X category?

I need a reminder to pop up on some 200+ items, but don't want to manually open each one to pull up the special tab and assign the same bloody item message..

Appreciate any guidance,

Hi John,

The ID's are internal numbers on each table that defines the row of information. It is not something you would see in manager.

This is not the query you would use only a sample idea.

Update item set messageid = 3 where categoryid = 5

You would need to be able to look at the item message table and identify the ID #, in this sample ID is 3 and then you would need the same info from the catagory table. every database is different in what the ID numbers are.

If you are not familiar with running SQL querys I would suggest either calling your partner or someone who can do this for you.

Yes we can do it for you 800-426-5708

Category code is 1201

Item Message has a TITLE field, but I can't find the Message ID #? Properties only show TITLE, Age Limit and Description for Item messages...

I understand I would test it on a manager copy of the database first to make sure I don't corrupt my whole database..

Thanks

The simple answer is yes,

You would need to know wha tthe category ID# is and the the message ID# is and then run a query that updates item.

I am hesitant on giving the query. If something is incorrectly entered or wrong ID's are used it could really make a mess.
