MessageRoz, 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.

No blank record, all fields locked.
It wouldn't surprise me if this is just a 'feature'.

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?

Standard left outer join on staff ID - is there another way?!

How are you combining your tables?
Susan H.
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.
