Question : Append data in rows to different columns in different table

Hello experts:
Using SQL2000. I have a table (TblMemCPTCodes) that needs to be udpated with fields that are in a different table (tblCPTCodes).

The TblCPTCodes holds the CPT for each member. The table has 2 fields MemID and CPT. This table could holde more than one CPT code per member id. Example of data:

MemID CPT
347 98412
347 90841
347 91658
241 95555
241 98546

The TblMemberCPTCodes holds the member id and other info and it has 3 columns for the cpt to be entered. Currently the CPT in this table is null. Example of what table with data looks like:

MemID Provider CPT1 CPT2 CPT3
347 5555
241 1234
I need to update TblMemberCPTCodes with the CPT codes in TblCPTCodes. The final table should look like this:

MemID Provider CPT1 CPT2 CPT3
347 5555 98412 90841 91658
241 95555 98546

I have attached the code I have created so far but I can't figure out how to use this code to update TblMemberCPTCodes.

Thanks in advance for your help.
