What does this not work?

UPDATE tblCapRec
SET AfterFee = RefundAmt FeeAmount
WHERE Status = 2

I get this error: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near ''.

Thanks for your time!

If it weren't for you guys, where would I be?

It must have not gotten copied over.

UPDATE tblCapRec
SET AfterFee = RefundAmt - FeeAmount
WHERE Status = 2

Any ideas? This is the error:

Line 2: Incorrect syntax near '-'.

Do the three columns actually exist in the table?

Try this

UPDATE [tblCapRec]
SET [AfterFee] = [RefundAmt] - [FeeAmount]
WHERE [Status] = 2
