Update Query with INNER JOIN between tables in 2 different databases on 1 server

Question

Need some SQL syntax help :-)

Both databases are on the same server

db1 = DHE
db2 = DHE_Import

UPDATE DHE.dbo.tblAccounts 
INNER JOIN DHE_Import.dbo

Sorry its late, but I guess it would be of help to those who land here finding a solution to similar problem. The set clause should come right after the update clause. So rearranging your query with a bit change does the work.

UPDATE DHE.dbo.tblAccounts 
SET DHE.dbo.tblAccounts.ControllingSalesRep
    = DHE_Import.dbo.tblSalesRepsAccountsLink.SalesRepCode
from DHE.dbo.tblAccounts 
INNER JOIN DHE_Import.dbo.tblSalesRepsAccountsLink 
    ON DHE.dbo.tblAccounts.AccountCode
        = DHE_Import.tblSalesRepsAccountsLink.AccountCode
