Thanks for your response. I figured it out, using the code below.

UPDATE dbo.EmpWorkHours
SET Emp_Timeout = getdate()
where RecordNum = (SELECT TOP 1 RecordNum
FROM dbo.EmpWorkHours
WHERE FK_Emp_Login_ID = 'MDoe74'
and Emp_Timeout IS NULL
ORDER BY RecordNum DESC
)

What was wrong with it you may ask? Well, I was selecting the Emp_timeout field which was null. I was then telling to update a record where getdate() equals the value in the Emp_Timeout field. That would never happen because at the time of the query Emp_timeout field is NULL thus it will never equal getdate().

Hope this helps.

If you knew it would not compile why didn't you tell me?!?!?!
