Updating all fields of a record using another db

I have 3 versions of a database. One is the original db and two with updated records. How can I update the records in the original database using the 2 updated databases?

The updates on the 2 databases are on different records. And I need to update all records.

I am looking for a way I can do this without explicitly setting each field. The table has 50+ fields.

What I would do is link to the table in the other databases, then create an update query that will take the values from my linked table and update the master table accordingly

Do i have to set every field individually? That would be a pretty long update query if i set 50+ fields. Is there a shorter way of doing this?

If you use the query designer, it is not hard (or time consuming) at all (espically when you think of the alternative, doing it all by hand)
