MS Access SQL Syntax Error

Question

I'm trying to update a microsoft access database table field from a similar field in a linked table.

Here are my table names:

Raw data
sectionroster

And here's my query so far:

UPDATE [raw data].[current supervisor]
FROM [raw data] 
INNER JOIN [sectionroster] ON [raw data].[associate id]=[sectionroster].[employee number]
SET [raw data].[Current Supervisor] = [sectionroster].[supervisor];

It's giving me a syntax error referencing the from clause, and I can't figure out why. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Try this

UPDATE [raw data].[current supervisor]
SET [raw data].[Current Supervisor] = [sectionroster].[supervisor]
FROM [raw data] 
INNER JOIN [sectionroster] ON [raw data].[associate id]=[sectionroster].[employee number]
