>>Thank you, Naomi. Just as I read your message I realized why I had the problem last night. I am trying to make my code work on both VFP and SQL Server. And I was testing last night on VFP. And of course, this type of syntax would not apply to VFP at all. So I will probably execute each UPDATE separately. I wonder, though, if I could enclose these two UPDATE (for SQL Server) with Transaction so that I can undo changes if one of the UPDATEs fails. I will test it.

Thank you.
