Is there a way to update one column using conditions based on two or more tables?

ie.

UPDATE <table1>
SET col02 = (SELECT ColNew From <table2> WHERE <Table2>.ColNew = <table3>.Colold AND <Table2>.Col001 = <Table3>.Col001

Is this possible?, If so, please clue a newbie in..
THANKS TONS!!!

I believe you would have to use a join and you would have to insure one value returned in your select. Plus, are you trying to update every row in table1?
