I did not notice that he had the adp file in the subselect. but to expand
on what you said.
Update adp/locnmstrpf a
Set a.printer =
(select b.printer from tomh/locnmstrpf b
Where a.locn = b.locn and b.printer <> ' '
)
WHERE a.printer = ' '

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.
