Default Updating record values

If I populate a form using a query result, does that preclude me from editing
the data that is shown in that form?

Steve,
No... as long as the query behind the form is "updateable."
A query delivers a recordset... just like a table.
In general use, most folks use a query as the RecordSource for their
forms... as opposed to a table.

How do ensure the query id editable? Does contatenating 2 fields preclude
that?

I don't know for sure, but probably the answer is yes.
