Hi Paul,

Assuming VFP9 you may use this syntax:

update Template set Balance = temp.Balance from Template ;
inner join TempTable Temp on Template.EmpNo = Temp.EmpNo

If you didn't have 0 in non-matched records and you want to reset them now to 0, use this:

update Template set Balance = nvl(temp.Balance,0) from Template ;
LEFT join TempTable Temp on Template.EmpNo = Temp.EmpNo
