Can't edit my query
Folks:
A while back I created a table with a form to help me manage the production of my office's correspondence; recently, I broke the table up into three by topic: tracking, mailing, and QC information. I created 1-to-1 relationships between the tables and a new query. The result: the query is not updatable. Help says that as long as the relationships are 1 to 1, I should be able to edit--any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks in advance for letting me know! MP -- Nothing is Lost. |

Can't edit my query
Not necessarily. There are several reasons a query may not be editable. For
example, a UNION query can never be updated. Without seeing it, I can't say why it is not; however, you first mistake was breaking up the tables. This will actually create more problems than it will solve. You have only found one so far. The correct thing to do would be leave it as one table and add a field the identifies to which group the record belongs. Use queries to return the records you want. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "MorrisPoet" wrote: Folks: A while back I created a table with a form to help me manage the production of my office's correspondence; recently, I broke the table up into three by topic: tracking, mailing, and QC information.

MP Do you have a unique Index on the joining fields in both tables? If not, add such indexes. If so please open the query in SQL view and post it here. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |
