I'm new to SQL server and I am trying to convert sql from access to sql server 2005. I'm attaching the code below:

UPDATE [tblShipments] LEFT JOIN [T Bill To 2] ON ([tblShipments].[Shipment Id] = [T Bill To 2].[Shipment Id]) AND ([tblShipments].[Load Id] = [T Bill To 2].[Load Id])
SET [tblShipments].[Bill To] = [T Bill To 2]![Bill To]
WHERE ((([tblShipments].[Bill To]) Is Null));

this is the error message I'm getting.

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'LEFT'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'tblShipments'.

I have surfed the web and found how to convert IIf from access to sql server by changing it to CASE WHEN, I have not had any luck on what to do with joins.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try this...

UPDATE t 
SET    t.[Bill To] = t1.[Bill To] 
FROM   [tblShipments] t 
       LEFT JOIN [T Bill To 2] t1 
         ON t.[Shipment Id] = t1.[Shipment Id] 
            AND t.[Load Id] = t1.[Load Id] 
WHERE  t.[Bill To] IS NULL
