<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Roz, if all else fails, create quick form based on
the query and set the form's Inconsistent Update property to force updates on
both sides of the query -- it probably isn't the solution you'll want to use in
the end, but enter some test changes and new data and then see what it looks
like -- in the tables -- the results could help you pinpoint the problem.

Re: [AccessD] Updating queries with linked tables<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<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>
