Out of curiosity, what SQL server (and version) are you using? I currently have MySQL 5.0.33 on my dev box and I had no problem with the query I gave you. Perhaps it's a version issue. There really shouldn't be a problem updating a table that also occurs in the select query since the select query should take place before the insert.
