I have an existing database and web page showing the query results. I have
added another field to allow a user to input a two digit number. I want
that number to change the number in one of the existing columns for the
item it was input next to.
I have these columns -
Part Number Description Quantity List Price Put on
hold
I want the Quantity column changed according to the number the user input
in the Put on hold column.
I'm stuck in the query to write, trying to do
$sql1 = "update refurbs set qty(qty - $qty) order by 'description'";
but that doesn't work. I have pasted in the main part of the code below...
Thanks for any help you can provide,

BTW, thanks for the replys to the first message, I was expecting the list
to be much more busy.
