Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Try removing the word "TABLE" from your SQL statement (since you can only update tables, it is implied that the object following the word UPDATE is a table):
Code:
sSQL = "UPDATE Employee SET [Notes] = 'Under Paid' WHERE [ANNUAL CTC] < 400000;"
