Hi there,
I tried to excecute this code
UPDATE TableA
SET Last =
(SELECT SUM(Cost) AS Expr1
FROM Trans
WHERE (Code = TableA.Code) AND (Estate = 0) AND (Tran = 'D0001') AND ([D/H] = 'D') AND (MONTH(CurDate) = 1))
WHERE (Code LIKE '1%');

But a Message says not nulls allowed, please help me

Your subselect is returning null values for one or some or all rows.
Check your subselect if this is true and ok.
The column Last isn't accepting null values.
How do want to handle that?
Insert 0 instead of null?
Alter table to allow null values?

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
