I don't want to circumvent the question... I hope Bob does give you an answer, but as it worked out in my case...
The table I needed to update is storing the text value as opposed to the unique_id, so in my case, I didn't need it...

normally, I think you're right... but if you look at my various posts, you'll see I don't know much yet... so, I hope Bob does give you/us an answer.
