<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, when you say "combine" -- I think of append
or UNION. Relationships "join" records -- nothing wrong with the way you siad it
-- I just thought I'd check to make sure. So here's the next question -- how do
you know it's not updateable? Are you getting an error message? Is there a blank
(new) record at the bottom of the query in Datasheet View?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I'm finding (and I can't believe I never
hit this before) is that although the SQL tables can be updated through the
Access FE, and the local tables can be updated, combine them and wallop, not
updateable. Even if all the key fields are included in the
query.</FONT></DIV>
