I have two table with one common factor: all policies in Table 1 (1000
records) have matches in Table 2 (90,000). I have them in a select query but
just found out I cannot update through query. I had already removed the
orginal key numbers thinking I could use the individual policy numbers found
in both tables. There are no duplicates in the policy field.
I am unable to make any updates to the records while under the select
query. I need to be able to edit the query in a Form and make sure these
updates are made to both tables. An additional problem may evolve. When I
first formated the tables I made sure each had the same columns. For
example, Table A had information in Column 1 while Table B had none. Visa
Versa, table B had information in Column 2 while Table A-column 2 is empty.
I have created a select query that shows informatiopn from both. I found out
afterwards that I couldn't make any updates in the select query. My goal is
to set up a form that the President can use to update and access information
without having to look at the tables or the query.
By now I don't know if what I am doing is even possible although it seems
like it should be to me. Help me I'm under a time crunch.
