If that works you need to file a bug with Microsoft. Imagine the following dataset: ROW_ID CON_PERSON_UID PC_STATUS CON_CUST_STATUS CON_PR_POSTN x1x ? Y ad x1x 2 Y df x1x 3 Y The outcome of your update query on this dataset is undefined. Should it set CON_CUST_STATUS in the first row to 2 or to 3? If you make the database choose consistently between the 2 and the 3 (usually through aggregate functions) you have solved the "Single row sub-query returns more than one row." error message and then it will work.
