Update [Table2] set username =
(
Select T1.username from [Table1] T1 where Replace(replace(T1.name,',',''),' ','') = ltrim(rtrim(Table2.lastname))+ltrim(rtrim(Table2.firstname))
)

Hi pradeepbliss. Thanks for replay.
I need update field username of table2 by data username of table1. But you approach create username on base lastname and firstname of table1.

How do you "connect" the two tables to eachother?
