Unlikely there's a "tool" that meets your specific requirements. It's quite
possible that code or a query could be developed to do it -- depending on
the details.

Are TBL1 and TBL2 related by a key/foreign key, or do you intend that TBL2
is a table of instructions for updating each Record of TBL1?
