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. -- hth Al Campagna Microsoft Access MVP http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions/index.html "Find a job that you love... and you'll never work a day in your life."

How do ensure the query id editable? Does contatenating 2 fields preclude
that? "Al Campagna" wrote: Steve, No... as long as the query behind the form is "updateable." A query delivers a recordset... just like a table.

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