Cannot modify data

Hi,
Sometimes when I try to modify data in enterprise manager, I get this error:
Key column information is insufficient or incorrect.
Too many rows were affected by
How can I solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

There are a few issue with modifying data in EM, this seems to be that the
row you are changing can not be distinguished i.e it does not have a Primary
Key. Query analyser is usually a better tool to do larger or more complex
updates.

the previous poster suggests, change it using an update statement.
