You just need to rewrite the query, here is an example from SQL BOL CREATE TABLE s (ColA INT, ColB DECIMAL(10,3)) GO CREATE TABLE t (ColA INT PRIMARY KEY, ColB DECIMAL(10,3)) GO INSERT INTO s VALUES(1, 10.0) INSERT INTO s VALUES(1, 20.0) INSERT INTO t VALUES(1, 0.0) GO
UPDATE t SET t.ColB = t.ColB + s.ColB FROM t INNER JOIN s ON (t.ColA = s.ColA) GO So your code should look something like UPDATE NewProduct np SET np.details = op.details FROM np INNER JOIN op ON np.dealerpartno = op.dealerpartno Have not tested, just written it here based upon the example, hope it helps. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 October 2005 14:17 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS QUERY? I was always under the impression that you couldn't join tables in anything other than a SELECT query. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

Hello, This query works fine with Access. With SQL server it creates an error. Here's the query: UPDATE NewProduct INNER JOIN OldProduct ON NewProduct.dealerpartno = OldProduct.dealerpartno SET NewProduct.details = OldProduct.details Much appreciate any help in debuging. Thanks in advance. Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
