RE: SQL Update Table

I don't believe SQL has ever been able to do this.  If this has 
changed...please let me know, too...I can think of a zillion (that's 1 followed 
by as many zeros as you can imagine) situations that I'd like to use it for.

Good Luck,
--Bruce

SQL Update Question
  Does anyone know if it is possible to UPDATE   a field in one table with
a value from second table .

TABLEA(MANY)   to  TABLEB(ONE)
TRANSNO
CUSNOA       CUSNOB
ATEXTDATA              BTEXTDATA

I have an 30 byte text field(ATEXTDATA)  and a Numeric Customer# (CUSNOA)
in    TABLEA.
I want to update the ATEXTDATA with some information(BTEXTDATA)  from
TABLEB. (CUSNOB) is the  if the KEY.
