Thanks for khtan, another problem faced ... ==||

WHILE @Counter < @ColumnCount
BEGIN
Set @Counter = @Counter + 1
SELECT @StringColumn = (SELECT COL_NAME(OBJECT_ID(@TableName), @Counter) AS 'Column_Name')

Is UPDATE a user-defined function? If so, you will need to use it as dbo.Update as in "IF dbo.Update(@StringColumn) = 1".

If it is not a UDF, then SQL Server is interpreting that as the UPDATE keyword (as in UPDATE the data in a table).

If Update is a UDF, it is not a great name because UPDATE is a reserved keyword. I would change it to something else if at all possible.
