I've identified records where I need to set a field to zero.  Here's the
query that identified the records:

select t1.iid from transactions t1
inner join payment_header h1
on h1.iid = t1.ipmthdrid
where t1.iacctid <> h1.iacctid


I tried to put an update in front of it like so but it fails:

update transactions
set ipmthdrid = 0
where iid in (
select t1.iid from transactions t1
inner join payment_header h1
on h1.iid = t1.ipmthdrid
where t1.iacctid <> h1.iacctid)

MySQL5 gives me this error:  "You can't specify target table
'transactions' for update in FROM clause"

Tips for solution?  tia!
