SQL Update Table Finding the Correct items to update but not Updat

[sfleck]

In access 2007 the following query is finding the correct Items to update but
is not updating the Table

UPDATE 8500_2 LEFT JOIN Findings ON [8500_2].[Control Number] = Findings.[IA
CONTROL] SET [8500_2].Description = [Findings]![Description of Finding]
WHERE ((([8500_2]![Control Number])=[Findings]![IA CONTROL]));

Are you executing the query or just switching the view? If you just
switch the view, the query will show you the records that WILL be
updated, but it will not update the values.

In earlier versions of Access there is a Run Query button. I suspect
that it is available somewhere on the ribbon in 2007.
