[AccessD] Update table with update query

Hey group,
I have a problem that seems a no-brainer.  I use a select groupby query to
get a recordset.  I then use a second query with the first query and the
target table in order to update the target table.  I thought this should
work no problem, however I get an "Operation must use an updatable query"
error.  Is this one of those you can't get there from here things?  Using
A97.

Here's the sqls.
Get the dates.
SELECT tblInstall_7B_Navcert_Mams.Hull, Max(dbo_tblNavcert.NavcertDate) AS
NDate
FROM tblInstall_7B_Navcert_Mams INNER JOIN (dbo_tblLocation INNER JOIN
dbo_tblNavcert ON dbo_tblLocation.LocID = dbo_tblNavcert.LocID) ON
tblInstall_7B_Navcert_Mams.Hull = dbo_tblLocation.Hull
WHERE (((dbo_tblNavcert.EquipTypeName)="rlg"))
GROUP BY tblInstall_7B_Navcert_Mams.Hull;

Try to put the dates in the table
SELECT tblInstall_7B_Navcert_Mams.Hull, Max(dbo_tblNavcert.NavcertDate) AS
NDate
FROM tblInstall_7B_Navcert_Mams INNER JOIN (dbo_tblLocation INNER JOIN
dbo_tblNavcert ON dbo_tblLocation.LocID = dbo_tblNavcert.LocID) ON
tblInstall_7B_Navcert_Mams.Hull = dbo_tblLocation.Hull
WHERE (((dbo_tblNavcert.EquipTypeName)="rlg"))
GROUP BY tblInstall_7B_Navcert_Mams.Hull;
