[AccessD] Update a field in a table

Steve,

Hope I haven't mis-understood you, but if the SQL Express table is linked
into the A2K database, isnt it just a simple query:

UPDATE [YourSQLExpressTable] INNER JOIN [YourA2kTable] ON
[YourSQLExpressTable].EmpNo = [YourA2kTable].EmpNo SET
[YourSQLExpressTable]![BW001]= [YourA2kTable]![BW001]
