Have you tried it this way?

UPDATE TABLEA
SET
A.FIELD1 = B.FIELD1,
A.FIELD2 = B.FIELD2,
A.FIELD3 = B.FIELD3,
A.FIELD4 = B.FIELD4,
A.FIELD5 = B.FIELD5,
A.FIELD6 = B.FIELD6,
A.FIELD7 = B.FIELD7,
A.FIELD8 = B.FIELD8,
A.FIELD9 = B.FIELD9,
A.FIELD10 = B.FIELD10,
A.FIELD11 = B.FIELD11,
A.FIELD12 = B.FIELD12,
A.FIELD13 = B.FIELD13,
A.FIELD14 = B.FIELD14,
A.FIELD15 = B.FIELD15,
A.FIELD16 = B.FIELD16,
FROM TABLEA AS A
INNER JOIN TABLEB AS B
ON A.ID = B.ID
