Is this Query valid?

Hello Experts,
Is this query is valid or not? it si giving me error invalid colum name
"exceptCount"
Update lib_RoundPerformance Set Successful = exceptCount select
COUNT(DISTINCT dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ResultID) AS exceptCount
FROM dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult INNER JOIN
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance ON
dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ArchivedSessionId_fk =
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.ArchivedSessionID AND
dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.RoundID =
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.RoundID
WHERE (dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ReadType = 'E')
GROUP BY dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ArchivedSessionId_fk,
dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.RoundID
Any help is appriciated, Thanks in advance.
RikRik,
You have two queries here.
-- First query
Update lib_RoundPerformance Set Successful = exceptCount
-- Second query
select
COUNT(DISTINCT dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ResultID) AS exceptCount
FROM dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult INNER JOIN
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance ON
dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ArchivedSessionId_fk =
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.ArchivedSessionID AND
dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.RoundID =
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.RoundID
WHERE (dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ReadType = 'E')
GROUP BY dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ArchivedSessionId_fk,
dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.RoundID
The first query appears to be invalid, since exceptCount is not
a column of the table lib_RoundPerformance.
Perhaps you mean to do this:
Update dbo.lib_RoundPerformance Set
Successful = (
select COUNT(DISTINCT dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ResultID)
FROM dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult
WHERE dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ArchivedSessionId_fk =
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.ArchivedSessionID
AND dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.RoundID = dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.RoundID
AND dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ReadType = 'E'
)
But this is just a guess.

there are matching rows in MSC_ArchivedResult:
Update dbo.lib_RoundPerformance Set
Successful = (
select COUNT(DISTINCT dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ResultID)
FROM dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult
WHERE dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ArchivedSessionId_fk =
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.ArchivedSessionID
AND dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.RoundID = dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.RoundID
AND dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ReadType = 'E'
)
where exists (
select * from dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult
WHERE dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ArchivedSessionId_fk =
dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.ArchivedSessionID
AND dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.RoundID = dbo.lib_RoundPerformance.RoundID
AND dbo.MSC_ArchivedResult.ReadType = 'E'
)
