Editing or Changing record content

I currently have numerical records in a text field. The numbers are really
text! If the number I have in a record is 12345 ....... how can I somehow
edit this to place "GP-" prior to the number? Please make the answer simple.

Best regards

To show the letters without actually changeing the data in the field:
="GP-" & [FieldName]

A permanent change?
Create an update query.
Update YourTable Set YourTable.[FieldName] = "GP-" & [FieldName];
