update blank fields

[Ra]

Hi,

I have two imported tables.

Table1:

CSPC Toolset Month
B3851 AB3851 4/1/2008
B3853 AB3851
B4852 AB4852 4/10/2008
B4853 AB4852


Table2 :

CSPC Toolset Month
B3851 AB3851 4/1/2008
B4852 AB4852 4/10/2008

I need to update the field assigned to Month from Table1 to the dates
assigned in Table2.
Note that for the same Toolset field in Table1 I have two CSPCs (Toolset
AB3851 shows two CSPC – B3851 and B3853). I am looking for the second CSPC
Table1 to get updated with the same Month date from Table2.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Thank you,

use an update query. join on ToolSet and Month, and filter for CSPC
IS NULL.

UPDATE Table1
INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.Toolset = Table2.Toolset
SET Table1.[Month] = Table2.[Month]
WHERE Table1.[Month] Is Null;
