I have a query that returns the info I need but need to Update a field:
SELECT Job_Operation.Job, Max(Job_Operation.Sequence) AS MaxOfSequence, Job_Operation.Operation_Service
FROM Job_Operation
WHERE (((Job_Operation.Work_Center)='QC') AND ((Job_Operation.Job) Like 'F%') AND ((Job_Operation.Status)='O'))
GROUP BY Job_Operation.Job, Job_Operation.Operation_Service;

I need to Update the Job_Operation.Operation_Service field to PPAP.

I would like to do this so I can schedule it to run every night using SQL Server Agent and Jobs to ran it.

Thanks,
Greg

The code is from my view called QCOp2PPAP. Can I from the View put a statement to Update the Operation_Service field to PPAP?

What I am saying is, why create a column with derived data that will be stale the second after you run the update?

Just create a view with the MAX and join to it when you need the data

???

The point is I needed to find the max to find the line I need to change. The view or query I am showing is the info I need to change.
Job 12345
has routings steps that can be dups and I need to change the last QC Seq Work_Center
0 Prog Free
1 Prod Cond
2 Saw
3 QC
4 WeldMig
5 QC
6 PowderPaint
7 QC

Ok my view is shown below when I get this view I then need to change the column Operation_Service data to read: PPAP

USE [Training]
GO
/****** Object: View [dbo].[QCOp2PPAP] Script Date: 12/07/2009 14:54:31 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER VIEW [dbo].[QCOp2PPAP]
AS
SELECT Job, Operation_Service, MAX(Sequence) AS MaxOfSequence
FROM dbo.Job_Operation
WHERE (Job LIKE 'F%') AND (Work_Center = 'QC') AND (Operation_Service <> 'PPAP') and (Status = 'O' OR
Status = 'S')
GROUP BY Job, Operation_Service
