Christine,

MapInfo does not support that "advanced" a Where condition on the Update 
command, so you'll have to select the records to update and then only update 
these selected records:

Select * From FACILITIES_TEST2 
        Where SERVICE_TYPE = "H"
        Into TO__UPDATE NoSelect
Update TO__UPDATE 
        Set MAPPING_TYPE = "A"
Close Table TO__UPDATE

Subject: MI-L Updating a field


Hi all,

I'm trying to update the mapping type field for one of my tables based on the 
service type.

I have used the following:

Update Facilities_Test2 Set Mapping_Type = "A"

This works fine.  However the following does not:

Update Facilities_Test2 Set Mapping_Type = "A" Where Service_Type = "H"

Any ideas?  Thanks,

Christine
