Can not change data once i bases a query on a query

S

Simon

I have a despatch System that shows a customers orders with the
products to be despatched

Its on a Contious form based on a query. On the form i also want to
show the Quantity that need to be despatched as the order might be
despated in parts Th

I have a query that works out how many need remain to ship

If i add this query the the qry i have that the form is based on it
displays the correct info but i can then not enter the amout i am
despatching in this order as the data is no editable

IS there another way of working around this?

Your query is probably unupdatable. Check out the following:

One workaround is to use a form/subform combination. If you have the
relationship between the two tables defined in the Relationships Window with
Referential Integrity enabled, it isn't too hard to do.
