All:

I'm getting the error: "Syntax is incorrect for the command UPDATE (2045)"
Don't understand why.

I've PROJECTED out a block of data to temp table  TT_HUMPTY so I can't
destroy my working table.
The data looks like this (Courier New font; names simplified; rows elided):

RowID   PlateNO Space Unit RegNote
------- ------- ----- ---- ------------
1166349 6HQD159 H0613 1127 REG EXP: ...
1166340 4SJZ727 H0670 -0-  REG EXP: ...
1167795 7V66155 M2214 -0-  REG EXP: ...
.
.
.
1166859 6VIK282 H1337 1202 REG EXP: ...
------- ------- ----- ---- ------------

I'm attempting to fill in the missing UNIT values, drawn from table PKSPACE
where UNITs relate to SPACEs.

The following command produces the correct set of missing UNIT values:

 SELECT Unit +
   FROM pkSpace +
  WHERE Space IN +
(SELECT Space FROM tt_humpty +
  WHERE RowID IN +
(SELECT RowID FROM tt_humpty +
  WHERE RegNote CONTAINS 'REG EXP:' +
    AND Unit IS NULL))

... but this UPDATE command:

 UPDATE tt_Humpty +
    SET Unit = Unit +
   FROM pkSpace +
  WHERE Space IN +
(SELECT Space FROM tt_humpty +
  WHERE RowID IN +
(SELECT RowID FROM tt_humpty +
  WHERE RegNote CONTAINS 'REG EXP:' +
    AND Unit IS NULL))

... produces this error message:

"Syntax is incorrect for the command UPDATE (2045)"

Any perspective greatly appreciated.
