I guess you'll want an inner join. You can read about types of joins in
Books Online. For example:

SELECT
D.partnum, D.barcode, D.i2of5s, D.i2of5m, D.upc, D.bigboxbcode,
D.drumbcode, D.traybcode, D.qtybcode,
C.eng_color, C.span_color, C.frch_color
FROM Color AS C
JOIN Code AS D
ON C.partnum = D.partnum ;

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
