Out of curiosity, what SQL server (and version) are you using? I
currently have MySQL 5.0.33 on my dev box and I had no problem with the
query I gave you. Perhaps it's a version issue. There really shouldn't
be a problem updating a table that also occurs in the select query since
the select query should take place before the insert.
He wasn't doing an insert/select, he was doing an update with two tables joined together.

I thought that --
UPDATE user1 u1, user2 u2
SET u1.login = u2.login, u1.password = u2.password
WHERE u1.username = u2.username
-- would work, but it don't.
