VFP9SP2 using DBC tables.

The curWorkingGroup cursor had just ONE record in it.  The Carriers_To_Process table (PK = IID field) has tens of thousands. The idea is that I'm just processing small sections at a time from Carriers_To_Process.  Rather than update the one or two records in the curWorkingGroup cursor that are a subset of the Carriers_To_Process, it updated ALL of the records in Carriers_To_Process, basically not respecting the JOIN condition.

                    UPDATE carriers_to_process ;
                       SET cSession = this.cSession ;
                      FROM carriers_to_process p1 ;
                     INNER JOIN curWorkingGroup g1 on g1.iid = p1.iid

What's wrong with my code for this simple UPDATE SQL ?

Here's the full segment to put it in context (with curToDo being the subset of Carriers_To_Process and curUniques being the unique ven_id field (so that we don't process a ven_id twice):

                SELECT COUNT(*) FROM curUniques WITH (BUFFERING=.T.) WHERE lSelected INTO ARRAY laCnt
                liTotal = NVL(laCnt[1],0)
                SELECT curUniques
                SCAN FOR lSelected && FOR EMPTY(tProcessed) AND EMPTY(tError) AND EMPTY(tignored) AND ondemand = m.tlOnDemand
                    liCnt = liCnt + 1
                    _screen.Caption = "Processing " + ALLTRIM(curUniques.ven_name) + " (" + ALLTRIM(STR(curUniques.ven_id)) + ") - " + ALLTRIM(STR(liCnt)) + " of " + ALLTRIM(STR(liTotal))                     *** mjb 10/23/2020 - mark the session for the ones we're processing so that subsequent runs aren't grabbing them from the initial query above
                    SELECT iid ;
                    FROM curToDo ;
                    WHERE ven_id = curUniques.ven_id ;
                     INTO CURSOR curWorkingGroup READWRITE

                    UPDATE carriers_to_process ;
                       SET cSession = this.cSession ;
                      FROM carriers_to_process p1 ;
                     INNER JOIN curWorkingGroup g1 on g1.iid = p1.iid

                    IF this.GetRecords('tmp',curUniques.ven_id) = 1 THEN
                        UPDATE carriers_to_process ;
                           SET tProcessed = DATETIME() ;
                          FROM carriers_to_process p1 ;
                         INNER JOIN curWorkingGroup g1 on g1.iid = p1.iid
                    ELSE
                        UPDATE carriers_to_process ;
                           SET tError = DATETIME() ;
                          FROM carriers_to_process p1 ;
                         INNER JOIN curWorkingGroup g1 on g1.iid = p1.iid
                    ENDIF && this.GetRecords('tmp',curUniques.ven_id)
                    USE IN SELECT('curWorkingGroup')
                ENDSCAN && carriers_to_process


I can revert to a simple xBASE approach with SCAN and SEEK/REPLACE but figured the UPDATE SQL was more elegant and easier to view.  ;-)
