Table 1: accountno, contact
Tablel 2: accountno, projname
accountno is key field (unique) for both tables
I want to update the projname field in Table 2 with the data in the contact field in Table 1 where accountno in Table 2 matches accountno in Table 1.
What is the command to do this in the Command window?
