Your replace statement is only updating one record (at least in this example), could that be it?

I setup similar code and it works (by correcting the previously noted typo). I do a replace all on one field and all updates occur (using pretty much the exact same code as yours, but using the northwind database employees table).

You can turn on SQL Profiler and run your prg and then check to see what commands are getting to SQL server. If there are multiple records being updated, you should be able to look at the generated SQL update command (in SQL Profiler) to debug why the rows are not getting updated.
