Have you tried a more direct command ?

UPDATE member SET votes count(votes) FROM ballot WHERE id = 1 ;

(I can't test right now but I don't see why this wouldn't work ...)

genisys=> UPDATE members SET phone1 = deadmem.phone1 FROM deadmem WHERE deadmem.id_num = 7356 and
genisys-> members.id_num = 100;
UPDATE 1       

with an '=' and defining which field belongs to which table it works! =)  kudos
to alain...

I get parse error at or near count - any variation (without the = sign)
produces a similar error.

Thanks Aaron (and others), that got it - I was missing the table. part of the
column specifier, and also I was trying to update an empty table - oops.

I knew there had to be a way - thanks once again.
