Question : How to update SQL table from another SQL Table  based on a condition

I have a table on that needs to populate data in another table based on a condition which exists on the first SQL table.

so, as it goes, if a row has the number 1 in the [modified] column, i need to populate the other table with the rest of the data in that row. field names are identical except that the destination table does not contain the [modified] field.

I am getting the following error:
Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 8
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_FSPI_AssociateIndex'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.FSPI_AssociateIndex'.
The statement has been terminated.

My hack code is shown below.

Thank you for your help,
jason

You are trying to insert duplicate rows into FSPI_AssociateIndex, based on the unique keys defined on that table.
