I just read this article about SQL Server 2012's new features (http://blog.tallan.com/2011/12/08/sql-server-2012-windowing-functions-part-1-of-2-running-and-sliding-aggregates/) and I'm thinking it *might* solve my problem, as long as I can join to other tables. I had to give up on the Quirky Update because I had to try to jam every column I needed into the same row and in some cases the row was too wide for SQL Server to handle.
whilst you wait for 2012.....could you consider creating a temp table from all of your sub queries / joins etc....and then running QU on the temp table?

The temp table would not be wide enough. I need the ability to calculate running percents on each component in the final product, and often times there are thousands of them.

ok.. I cant see what you can see......but in your situation then I would be asking myself "why have I got too many columns...should I be thinking about rows instead?"...I assume this is what you mean by "not be wide enough"
anyway good luck.
kind regards

I agree... think rows instead of columns here even if you don't use the QU.
As a sidebar, any process that has thousands of steps should probably be reevaluated a bit.
As another sidebar, can you move the discussion about such a wide table to a new thread, please? Thanks.

First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
Stop thinking about what you want to do to a row... think, instead, of what you want to do to a column."
