Update a field to match a field in another table

IS it possible within one query to update a field in one table to match the value in a field in another table?

RE: Update a field to match a field in another table

From the MySQL manual:

Quote:

Starting with MySQL Version 4.0.4, you can also perform UPDATE operations that cover multiple tables:

UPDATE items,month SET items.price=month.price
WHERE items.id=month.id;
