@sue

This might work,

Use B
update tblBData
set tblBData.InstFK = A.InstPK from I..tblInstitution A
Where tblBData.LeID = A.LeID

You are using wrong four-part-name syntax.

Four-part-name is something like this,

servername.databasename.ownername.objectname

but you misunderstood this concept and replaced the last objectname by column name.

Hope this helps,
Imran.

How do I write an Update Statement for the following:

Databases are:
I and B. —–Both on the same server.

The tables are:
I.tblInstitution and
B.tblBData

The columns are:
B.tblBData.InstFK —-Needs update
B.tblBData.LeID
I.tblInstitution.InstPK
I.tblInstitution.LeID

B.tblBData.InstFK = I.tblInstitution.InstPK
Where B.tblBData.LeID = I.tblInstitution.LeID

Thank you.
