Hi.
I know I can update a table this way

UPDATE file1
SET file1.fld1=
(select file2.fld1 from file2
where file2.fld11=file1.fld11)

but I need to update more than one field  at a time like this

UPDATE file1
SET file1.fld1=file2.fld1, file1.fld2=file2.fld2
...
WHERE file2.fld11=file1.fld11 and file2.fld12=file1.fld12

Thanks for any help

Massimo Ceroni
