I wrote this update statement and it looks right but I keep getting an error that says "incorrect syntax next to c" what did I do wrong?

Here is the statement:

UPDATE tblclients c
SET intproviderId = (SELECT TOP 1 t.inttransferid FROM tbltransfer t WHERE t.intclientids = c.intclientid ORDER BY t.inttransferid DESC)

try this:


UPDATE c
SET intproviderId = (SELECT TOP 1 t.inttransferid FROM tbltransfer t WHERE t.intclientids = c.intclientid ORDER BY t.inttransferid DESC)
from tblclients c

or this:-

UPDATE c
SET c.intproviderId = tmp.inttransferid 
from tblclients c
CROSS APPLY 
(SELECT TOP 1 t.inttransferid 
 FROM tbltransfer t  
 WHERE t.intclientids = c.intclientid 
 ORDER BY t.inttransferid DESC)tmp

UPDATE c
SET intproviderId = (SELECT min(t.inttransferid) FROM tbltransfer t WHERE t.intclientids = c.intclientid))
from tblclients c

This may work?

CROSS APPLY requires SQL 2005 with compatability level set to 90
