I'm a victim of false memories! Sergey was right -- no join between 2 tables is possible with UPDATE.

I'd suggest using good ol' xBase commands.

Set the relation between T1 and T2 based on an index of the PK values (name and date). Then do a REPLACE ALL t2.commission WITH t1.commission.

Best wishes, and sorry for the bad lead.
