SQL UPDATE 'where EXISTS' issue - 2 tables

[slasher]

Hi

Wonder if someone can give me some pointers of what's wrong with this update statement

Use MYSQL all the item but SQL is slightly different & just starting although they are similar

update 
lists
set    
lists.STOCKCODE = (select stock.STOCKCODE
                  from stock
                  where lists.ID = stock.ID)
where EXISTS(select lists.StatusID from lists where lists.StatusID=16)

Statement updates all lists.STOCKCODE with any StatusID can't get it to only update where lists.StatusID=16

Thanks in advance

Regards

Dave
