Where's David Blocker when you need him? |-) I've never been able to fully wrap my head around some of the more convoluted updates, so what I would do is this:
- create a temp view based on WorkOrder that selects the location and counts the work orders group by location - update table location from the view Emmitt Dove Manager, DairyPak Business Systems Blue Ridge Paper Products, Inc.

I am having one of those days when my brain is just not quite working; probably anticipation for tomorrows KU-MU BBall game...Go Jayhawks... I have a table that has unique locations (LocName) and a second table that has work orders with a location column (WorkLocation) For each location in the first table I want to upgrade the count with the number of occurrences in the second table. Table Location LocName LocCount ================== LocA 2 LocB 3 LocC 0 Table WorkOrder WoNo WorkLocation ================== 1 LocA 2 LocB 3 LocB 4 LocA 5 LocB I need to update table Location with the count of values in table WorkOrder. I believe there should be an UPDATE statement that does this globally, but somehow, anything I have tried either gives me a syntax error or does not work...Any ideas??? TIA.
