If you're going to use C id's instead of your field names, you need to replace HPD_HELP_DESK with the T table. The views like HPD_HELP_DESK don't have the C names, they have the database name you gave your field. (replace spaces with underscore)
You also need to put single quotes around '$USER$' and '$Incident Number$' Jason On May 7, 2012, at 1:48 PM, smiley <nti...@umich.edu> wrote: > Hi again - > > Here is my (hopefully) correct Direct Sql (which is an Action within my > Active Link): > > UPDATE HPD_Help_Desk SET C950000018 = $USER$, C950000019 = $TIMESTAMP$ > WHERE C1000000161 = $Incident Number$ > > The 'C' numbers are my Field ID's.
