RE: Help with a fairly basic SQL (I think)

update adp/locnmstrpf set printer=(select max(a.printer) from
tomh/locnmstrpf a, adp/locnmstrpf b where a.locn=b.locn and
a.printer<>' ' and b.printer=' ')

might do it for you.

Are you sure? I don't think that will do what you want. I'd try something
more along these lines:

Update adp/locnmstrpf a
Set printer =
(select max(b.printer) from tomh/locnmstrpf b
Where a.locn = b.locn
)

If locn is uniquely-keyed, you can drop the MAX( ) part of the equation.
