Update JOINed tables in Paradox using SQL

We perform an update of one table's field depending on results of a joined
query. In fact, any record in the result of the join which relates to the target
table has its corresponding target record updated. I can do this easily in
Paradox QBE, in SQL (MS-Access 2.0), and can write the SQL for Paradox, but the
BDE won't action it. What can I do?

TIA for any help.

What was the SQL statement you were trying to use? What was the result?
That is, what did you mean by "BDE won't action it?" Error message?
