not 100% sure what you are trying to do with this last where clause: where fld_item_ID = 'evaluate(#FORM.fld_item_ID# & #Qty#)'
are you trying to concatenate the form.fld_item_id with the qty variable? I think that SQL is trying to update where records match that whole piece of text in single quotes above You could try: where fld_item_ID = #evaluate(FORM.fld_item_ID & Qty)# any use??
