This is what I have tried:

SELECT PATIENTS.PatientID, PATIENTS.Email,
PATIENTS.Name, PATIENTS.BirthDate,
PATWEB.PatientID, PATWEB.Answer,
PATWEB.PIN, PATWEB.Answer
FROM PATIENTS, PATWEB
WHERE PATIENTS.Name LIKE 'xxx%'
AND PATIENTS.PatientID = PATWEB.PatientID
AND PATWEB.PIN = '55555'
AND PATIENTS.Email = 'bbbb@xyz.net'
AND PATIENTS.BirthDate = '1900-01-1\01'
AND PATWEB.Answer = 'snoopy'
UPDATE PATIENTS SET PATIENTS.Email = 'bb@cc.com'

I just need to update the Email field in PATIENTS table
when data matches some field in the PATWEB table and other data in the PATIENTS table from a set where PATWEB.PatientID = PATIENTS.PatientID

Thanks

SET P.Email = 'bb@cc.com' 
FROM PATIENTS P
JOIN PATWEB PW ON P.PatientId= PW.PatientId
WHERE P.Name LIKE 'xxx%' 
AND PW.PIN = '55555'
