Use the profiler to log activity to see what is doing the update.
(Tables don't update themselves).

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

How do you know its updating? Are all the values changing? Do you have a datestamp field? Are all records affected or only a subset?
