RE: Update problem, or more likely and problem understanding how to do updates.
I don't believe you need the second set update Pictures set Date Posted = '2001-05-09', Notes = 'Test' where ID ='1'; I think that should work -Original Message- From: Barry L.

Update problem, or more likely and problem understanding how to do updates.
Ok, based on the given syntax from the mysql manual..
