one reason I tell others to use tables is to keep them from
creating a recordset that cannot be updated

Can you explain what you mean by that? First off, in a combo box,
it's not relevant. Secondly, in a form's recordsource, you end up
with the most inefficient data retrieval possible. There is no
possible way that this recordsource/rowsource:

MyTable

will behave any differently in regards to editability than:

SELECT MyTable.* FROM MyTable

They are exactly equivalent. And the latter is always, in my
opinion, superior.
