Does it really look exactly like that or does it show as tblmonitor in the
error message?

Well, this doesn't show tblMonitor, but given tblWorkstation, this
probably means you created the table with double quotes around the name
(or your interface did) which means you should use double quotes to refer
to it, so something like:
update "tblMonitor" ...

You may need to double quote the column names if the same is true there.
