Default "Operation must use an updateable query" On UPDATE Only

Hey all,

I'm working on Access 2000, linking to a SQL Server 2000 table. When I try
to run INSERT commands through Access, everything works OK. But when I try to
make an UPDATE, it bombs out with an "Operation must use an updateable query"
error.

I can't think of a reason why one would work and the other wouldn't. I'm not
an expert at SQL Server, but when I go into Enterprise Manager and view
permissions for the table in question, it looks to be set up the same as a
different table that I CAN run updates against. I'm confused.
