This is the code I am using. For some reason I get an syntax error near the word UNIQUE. By changing certain things such as quotes, I get access errors. I'm not quite sure what the problem is.

UPDATE dbo.PLAYERS
SET FIRST_NAME = 'BENT1', LAST_NAME = '',
COMPANY = '', ADD_LINE1 = '', CLASS = 'EMPLOY',
PAID = '0', POSTAL = '', PHONE = '', FAX = '',
CLUBRENTAL = '0', GCOURSE = 'Springfield',
COURSE = '16A'
WHERE UNIQUE = '{5C82CD7B-5168-11D6-A95C-000629394C9A}'

UNIQUE is a reserved word, and thus, a poor choice for a column name as illustrated by your error. (I am assuming UNIQUE is a name of a column in dbo.Players, otherwise disregard)

You should rename the column. You could use [UNIQUE] instead of UNIQUE, but that will only fix the error, not the problem.
