I personally do not trust many-to-one updates -- they have failed too often for me. BTW, in this case the problem is not with the subquery, or the number of joins -- summary queries (GROUP BY) are inherently non-updatable. You can easily insert using a summary query, but you can't update using one as your data source in Access, even when the target is perfectly updatable. A really stupid limitation. -Ken
