I think that all previous answers are correct, this below code is very valid specially if you have to update multiple rows at once, note: it's PL/SQL

DECLARE
    CURSOR myCursor IS 
      Select contacts.BusinessCountry 
      From contacts c WHERE c.Key = t.Key;
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
BEGIN
    FOR resultValue IN myCursor LOOP
        Update tblindiantime t
        Set CountryName=resultValue.BusinessCountry 
        where t.key=resultValue.key;
    END LOOP;
END;

I wish this could help.

A similar question s answer worked more correctly for me than this question s selected answer  by Mark Byers    Using Mark s answer  my updated column got the same value in all the rows  perhaps the value from the first row that matched the join    Using ParveenaArora s answer from the other thread updated the column with the correct values   Transforming Parveena s solution to use this question  table and column names  the query would be as follows  where I assume the tables are related through tblindiantime contact id    UPDATE tblindiantime SET CountryName   contacts BusinessCountry FROM contacts WHERE tblindiantime contact id   contacts id

It can be solved by using different attribute     Use the cell Control click event  Select the column value that your transpose to anther column  send the selected value to the another text box or level whatever you fill convenient and a complementary button to modify the selected property  update the whole stack op the database and make a algorithm with sql query to overcome this one to transpose it into the another column

In SQL Server 2008 you can use a multi-table update as follows   UPDATE tblindiantime  SET tblindiantime CountryName   contacts BusinessCountry FROM tblindiantime  JOIN contacts ON -- join condition here   You need a join condition to specify which row should be updated   If the target table is currently empty then you should use an INSERT instead   INSERT INTO tblindiantime  CountryName  SELECT BusinessCountry FROM contacts
