Hello,

I need to run the following query to populate the County field of my table 
based on what county polygon it is in:

Update MASTLOCN Set MASTLOCN.County=Counties.County where MASTLOCN.County = 
"" and MASTLOCN.Obj Within Counties.Obj

Mapinfo is telling me "Expression does not evaluate to a column or table name"

There is no info on Update queries in the help file or the web site except 
how to update an entire table or select query with a single value.

Is Mapinfo syntax different or does it not support Update queries?

One workaround is to do the select query and then Save Copy As... the query 
as DBF. Then I import the DBF into Access, attach the original DBF and run 
an update query there. A major pain!

Thanks,
