Ok yall, figured you would be my best place for help.

I have somehow become the keeper of some databases with absolutely no formal training.

One of my databases has the main table where two fields formated as currency and need to be just regular numbers. As they are some 1.8 million rows, the simple format change options aren't working. I know that there is supposed to be some way to change this with an update query, but it is escaping me with massive google fu failure. There is also supposed to be a way with VBA, but I have absolutely no experience in that and what I find is confusing me

Treating me like a 3rd grader, can someone help me with fixing this?
