I am trying to update the field of a master table through a temporary query 
that I have made on that same master table. My reason for doing so is to avoid 
updating all records in the master table ( to no value or zero) when attempting 
to update the entire table directly. 
 
Therefore, I run a SQL query first to create the temporary query. This query 
selects the similar records found in another smaller table with the same unique 
ID. After I have this temp query with the subset of records to be updated 
linked to the master table, I run the table update using a join and setting the 
appropriate fileds. My problem is that the wrong field is updated everytime. 
MapInfo seems to look for the fields to be in a particular order or something. 
MapInfo is updating, but to the wrong field! 
 
Has anybody ever had this happen? Any suggestions about overcoming this one?
 
Any suggestions appreciated.
