I have two tables, one of polygon boundaries, and one of points. I'm
trying to update a column in the points table with a value from the
surrounding polygons in the boundaries table.

I go to Table | Update Column, select the appropriate parameters, and
hit OK.  I get an error box stating "Datatype mismatch in expression."
If I tell it to add a new column, it adds "Cannot add temporary column
<columnname>".

Any ideas?  This works with every other set of boundaries/points I've
ever tried it on, just not this one for some stupid reason.  The columns
are the same length and datatype (char 5).
