Tom, thanks. that was it. the basic examples didn't
include the FROM clause - i surmise it isn't required
until you start traversing across linked tables.
this worked...
UPDATE t_sn
SET sn_completed = false
FROM t_link, t_job, t_product
WHERE sn = 1
AND t_sn.link_id = t_link.link_id
AND t_link.job_id = t_job.job_id
AND t_job.product_id = t_product.product_id
AND t_product.product_id = 118
thanks again.
