Bad SQL.....

I am trying to write an update statement but seem to be having problems. Below is my statement and the error in SQL*Plus.

  1 UPDATE AVAILABLE_POWER SET available_power.driver_terminated = 'Y'   2 WHERE available_power.driver_id = manpowerprofile.mpp_id   3* and manpowerprofile.mpp_terminationdt <> TO_DATE('31-DEC-2049','DD-MON-YYYY')
SQL> /
   and manpowerprofile.mpp_terminationdt <> TO_DATE('31-DEC-2049','DD-MON-YYYY')

                       *

ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00904: invalid column name

I know that manpowerprofile.mpp_terminationdt is a valid table column. Do I need to do some type of join on these two tables? Or is it just Friday and I should give up and go have a cold beer!!:o) Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave
