So I am having a tough time with this UPDATE statement. I am not finding much help on Google about how to UPDATE 2 tables in a SQL command. I know it's not theoretically possible based on what I've read, but I've read it can be done through a transaction. Here is my statement so far, that isn't working. If you can help, please re-write the statement so I can visually see the solution. Thanks!

BEGIN TRANSACTION 

UPDATE [Company] SET [CompanyName] = @CompanyName, [CompanyRegistry] = @CompanyRegistry 
FROM [Company] T1 
WHERE [T1.CompanyID] = @CompanyID 

UPDATE [Users] SET [FirstName] = @FirstName, [LastName] = @LastName, [Address] = @Address, [City] = @City, [State] = @State, [ZipCode] = @ZipCode, [PhoneNumber] = @PhoneNumber, [EMail] = @EMail 
FROM [Users] T2 
WHERE [T2.UsersID] = @UsersID 

COMMIT
