What do you mean by "it won't work"? error messages? not updating? updating wrong records?

Also, you are missing the quote marks. Should be WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID = '&employeeNum'; (EQ isn't valid SQL syntax) and &employeeNum would either need to be populated (by a -SET or -DEFAULT) or "Prompt for Parameters" property turned on.


Regards,

Darin

Hi,

The WHERE statement is missing quotes
  
WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID EQ '&employeeNum';
