I have a table that looks like this ... Table (1)

names (INDEX)  ------  ID
DWIGHT S.  ------     56756
JIM H.  ------        32456
KEVIN M.  ------      76765
MICHAEL S.  ------    34245 
PAM B.  ------        84572

I have a "key" that looks like this ... Table (2)

names (INDEX)  ------ FULL NAME
DWIGHT S.  ------     SHRUTE, DWIGHT
JIM H.  ------        HALPERT, JIM
KEVIN M.  ------      MALONE, KEVIN
MICHAEL S.  ------    SCOTT, MICHAEL
PAM B.  ------        BEESLY, PAMELA

Execute this query this will update your first table. I believe the Index column in first table is unique.

UPDATE tbl1
SET
tbl1.Index= tbl2.FullName

FROM Table1 tbl1
JOIN Table2 tbl2 ON tbl2.Index= tbl1.Index
