Thanks Rachel; This is just a simple update to generate a report for locations that already have been entered, triggers would be an overkill. The second view approach seems like a simpler solution until I figure out a way to do a one-command line UPDATE...

SELECT WorkLocation INTO xWorkLocation + FROM WorkOrder WHERE CURRENT OF SYS_NEW update Location set LocCount=(count(*)) + from Location T1, WorkOrder t2, + where t1.LocName=.xWorkLocation and t1.LocName=t2.WorkLocation clear var xWorkLocation return 0 or SELECT WorkLocation INTO xWorkLocation + FROM WorkOrder WHERE CURRENT OF SYS_NEW set VAR xLocCount int = '0' select count(*) into xLocCount from WorkOrder where WorkLocation =.xWorkLocation update Location set LocCount=(.xLocCount ) + where LocName=.xWorkLocation clear var x% return 0 you can play around and for the delete trig subtract 1 from the count. I use table triggers for doing this sort of update alot and have had good success. Have a Fabulous Day! Rachael M.

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.
