  I'm getting the error shown below when I run the following query. What does it mean and how can I correct it?

  TIA,

  barkingdog

  update CFD

  set

  CName = WMT.CName

  from

  (

  select CF1 from CFD

  intersect

  select CF1 from WorkMTable

  ) as MatchTbl join WorkMTable as WMT

  on (CFD.CF1 = MatchTbl.CF1)

  where

  (

  (WMT.CName <> CFD.CName ) and

  (CFD.MName =1)

  )

  Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 12

  The multi-part identifier "CFD.CF1" could not be bound.

  Because you are not referencing the table CFD in the from clause. You need something like:

  UPDATE a

  SET {columns}

  FROM CFD AS a

  JOIN (intersect query) ON ...

  JOIN {other tables} ON ...

  WHERE ...
