huh?

maybe a copy/paste error?

EVERY statement you posted is making the Question1 field equal to a count of the persons name?

it looks like the sub query gets a total, and has NO relationship whatsoever to the table you are updating?

update [dbo].[tblQuizAnwserSelectionStatistics] set [Question1]=

(SELECT top 1 cOUNT(DISTINCT EmpName) AS Stat

if you are trying to get a total of the right answers, why not just roll up the counts in the first place? why are you updating some other table?

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT EmpName) AS Stat,Questions,Answer

FROM BackInjuryPreventionQuizAnswer where len([Answer]) <> 0 --LEN already does a right trim...
