    I have a field that contains say web addresses separated by a ^ symbol.
    If I have www.google.com^www.yahoo.com^, what would be the command to add another address to this field (called addresses) without deleting whats already there.

    Update TableName
    set Fieldname = FieldName + '^www.cnn.com'
    where fieldname = whatever
    should do it

    You could also use UPDATETEXT for a non-logged approach if the field will contain large blocks of text
