Something like this usually works UPDATE table SET STATUS = 'approved' WHERE SKU = #URL.SKU# AND ( StatusWhen = ( SELECT TOP 1 StatusWhen FROM table WHERE SKU = #URL.SKU# ORDER BY StatusWhen DESC ) ) Didn't check any of it, but it'll show the idea. You might wanna use <cfqueryparam /> by the way. If you like your night's rest.
