The dpname is it a table name?

Update [table name] set [column name]=[value to update] where [condition]

PS: I think you should leave some space as code show below also

Code:

sql_insert="UPDATE " & <%=dpname%> & " SET Units =" &unitarray(s)& ",Submitted =' "&theDate&" ' "

sqlin=sql_insert+" WHERE Items =' " & arrname(s) & " ';"

Try

Code:

dpName = Request.Form("dptname")

For i = 0 To UBound(arrname)
   Conn.Execute("UPDATE " & dpName & " Set Units = " & unitArray(i) & ", Submitted = #" & theDate & "# WHERE Items = '" & arrName(i) & "';")
Next
