Hi Paul,

You may do something like that in SQL Server but not in VFP because VFP UPDATE command doesn't support table join. In VFP you have a couple of choices.

* SCAN + UPDATE
SELECT temptable
SCAN
  UPDATE customer ;
    set customer.avgage with temptable.avgage ;
    Where customer.id == temptable.id
ENDSCAN
* SET RELATION + REPLACE
SELECT temptable
INDEX ON id TAG id
SET ORDER TO id
SELECT customer 
SET RELATION TO id INTO temptable
REPLACE customer.avgage with temptable.avgage ;
  FOR FOUND("temptable")
