Simple update query is making me lose my mind...

I feel so stupid for posting this but I cannot figure out why I'm getting an error with this simple update query.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. update [spa work order pgsql]
  2. set [scan_closing] = '02/14/06 06:00:00 AM'
  3. where [scan_closing] = '02/14/20 06:00:00 AM'
Gives me the following error:

Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure HIFL3253_SO_15155, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
The statement has been terminated.

And that's it. I cannot grok that error message BECAUSE THERE'S NO SUB QUERY. I can see no reason why this should error out. Thanks in advance to anyone who points out whatever simple thing I've missed.

Check your update triggers.

Check your update triggers.
Thank you kind sir. There was a trigger in there I didn't know about. It just didn't occur to me to look at those.

UPDATE:

I'm in the process of doing a lot of clean up work on the db.
<WTFery>
When I first got here there were 117 triggers on the main table that ran everytime ANY entry was updated. Performance killer would be a kind way to put it. Those triggers came from an ASP page that actually PRODUCED a trigger for a dealer that sent an email when their product shipped. I dealt with those triggers and ASP pages and got it down to 3 triggers for the table. Anyway, you've just alerted me to ANOTHER page that was doing the same thing, just not with the same frequency so it escaped my attention because I thought I'd finished with that horrible mess.
</WTFery>

Thanks again. Knew it was something simple I was missing.
