*PLEASE* Help with an UPDATE query...Thanks

Hi,
I have two tables--call them A and B.
I want to update certain fields in A from values in table B based on a selection criteria.

The "select" portion would be like:
SELECT * from A
WHERE A.ID = B.ID AND A.ID in ('<a list of values>');

And then based on above select, I want to update table A: UPDATE A
SET A.someField = B.someField;

I can't seem to figure out how to combine the two in one query (or nested sub-queries). Is it possible at all? If not, what would be the best way, in your opinion, to do this?

Thanks very much for your help!!!

Regards,
