Updating records with a join

The following form post data into itslef through a join statement. the contact and ticket tables. The ticket ID field is read only as I don't want that updated.

Through the form action I want to be able to update the existing record. Is it possible to run an update through a join? The statement selects a ticket and the associated contact. The user should be able to change the contents of any field and then hit the submit button the update save the ticket.

The form:


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Search_Test</title>

</HEAD>

<% 'specify the provider
strProvider="Driver={SQL Server};Server=SPARKDLE-LPSJXL;Database=Login;Uid=sa;Pwd=sa;"

'define the inner join query
strQuery = "SELECT tcontact.firstname, tcontact.lastname, tticket.ticketid, tticket.urgency, tticket.description, tticket.probdescription, tticket.probresolution FROM tcontact inner JOIN tticket ON tcontact.contactid=tticket.contactid"

'create and open the recordset
set rsJoin=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsJoin.Open strQuery, strProvider, , , adCmdText %>


<BODY>
<TABLE>

<form action= "searchtest_update.asp">
<TR>
<TD>Firstname</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="ticket" value=<% Response.Write rsJoin("firstname")%>> </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Lastname</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="ticket" value=<% Response.Write rsJoin("lastname")%>> </TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD>Ticket ID</TD>
<TD><% Response.Write rsjoin("ticketid")%> </TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD>Subject</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="contact" value=<% Response.Write rsJoin("description")%>> </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Urgency</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="urgency" value=<% Response.Write rsJoin("urgency")%>></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Problem Description</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="description" value=<% Response.Write rsJoin("probdescription")%>></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Problem Resloution</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="probdescription" value=<% Response.Write rsJoin("probresolution")%>></TD>
</TR>
<td> <INPUT TYPE="submit" value=save>

</form>

<% 'close record set and flush object from memory
rsJoin.Close
set rsJoin = Nothing %>

</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I do not believe you can do an update across multiple tables at the same time.

You would have to run two updates.
One for each table.
