  Awful thin on the details...

  you have to be able to establish some sort of relationship between the two tables. without that information, it's a crapshoot.

  syntax wise, it goes something like this: i took a lot of liberties ont eh assumptions.

  UPDATE TABLE1

  SET TABLE1.PID = TABLE2.TID

  FROM TABLE2

  WHERE TABLE1.CONTACTTBLKEY=TABLE2.CONTACTTBLKEY

  AND TABLE1.PID IS NULL

  AND TABLE2.TID IS NOT NULL

  AND STATE = 'FL'

  Rows are not records; records are not values it is a HUGE difference that you will nee to learn. Please post DDL and not a vague, useless narration (can you program from this??!! Me neither.).

  My guess is that you want a MERGE statement ...

  I call rows - records, and genuinely believe that records can contain values. I don't see ANY difference and i have no urge to learn it.:-P

  Questions better to be posted with accordance to forum etiquette which you can read about if you click the link at the bottom of my signature.

  So my guess is:

  Follow the above advise and you will get relevant help!
