I have two tables, customer table and a company table The customer table has an ID field that is 8 characters long. The first 4 characters are the company code.
We just added a company table that has an id field that contains that companies id code. We also added a field to the customer table that will hold the company ID that the customer belongs to. So..... Customer table ID name company 12347771 joe null 12347772 mary null 43210001 bob null Company Table ID name 1234 Acme 4321 Acme_Europe What I now need to do is create an update statement that will match the customer to the company by substring(Customer.ID,1,4) to Company.ID I tried: Jeff McKeon IT Manager Telaurus Communications LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] (973) 889-8990 ex 209 ***The information contained in this communication is confidential.
