Update Query

Can anyone tell me why my update query does not work.  I get the error.

Server: Msg 116, Level 16, State 1, Line 17
Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS.


UPDATE up
SET up.ref = up.ref,
    up.pdate = up.pdate,
    up.problem = up.Problem,  
    up.Branch    = up.Branch ,
  up.Val =  v.val,
    up.moddate =  v.modified ,  
   up.type  = t.name
from  docsdb.dbo.vtab0010 v,  docsdb.dbo.temp  te,  docsdb.dbo.updated up,  docsdb.dbo.types t
where v.val in
(select  distinct te.ref,
                 te.pdate,
                 v.val,
                 te.problem,
                 te.branch,
               v.modified,
               t.name
           from   docsdb.dbo.vtab0010 v      
           join   docsdb.dbo.docs d on v.docid = d.docid
           join   docsdb.dbo.types    t on d.typid = t.typid
           join   docsdb.dbo.temp     te on v.val = te.val
           inner join (select v.val, max(v.modified) as modified from docsdb.dbo.vtab0010  v group by v.val)
           x on v.val = x.val and v.modified = x.modified
           where  (v.val = te.val and te.problem = 'No Card'))
