Backslashes are used for quoting, so what you're trying to do looks
something like this to the server:
Update "Config" Set "Wave" = 'F:wavBTJ.wav',"Answer" = 20,
"Recordwav" ='F:wav\',"CalledID" = '12345678' where "Recno" = 1
You could confirm by turning up debugging on the server and check
the logs.
So, it's trying to store the string :
F:wav',"CalledID" =
(with trailing space, even) in Recordwav.
Try doubling your backslashes, as so:
Update "Config" Set "Wave" = 'F:\\wav\\BTJ.wav',"Answer" = 20,
"Recordwav" ='F:\\wav\\',"CalledID" = '12345678' where "Recno" = 1
