>>xstud is a table in my database. I defined a one-to-one relationship between student and xstud on cstud_key. Both tables have a primary cstud_key key and the cstud_id field. I am trying to update the student table with the value in the xstud table using a matching cstud_key.

<g> There is always a better way. Actually this example I gave was an example of how I use scan for more flexibility.
