Operation must use an updateable query.

[hfd]

Code:

UPDATE dbo_ap_vchr_tbl1 INNER JOIN 2010 ON
(dbo_ap_vchr_tbl1.gl_cmp_key = [2010].gl_cmp_key) AND
(dbo_ap_vchr_tbl1.ap_vchr_key = [2010].voucher) AND
(dbo_ap_vchr_tbl1.ap_vchr_dtltotf = [2010].debit) SET [2010].vendor =
[dbo_ap_vchr_tbl1]![ap_remt_key]
WHERE (((dbo_ap_vchr_tbl1.gl_cmp_key)=[Forms]![Form1]!
[SelectedCompany]) AND (([2010].[memo indicator]) Is Null) AND
(([2010].gl_tran_ref1)="q") AND ((dbo_ap_vchr_tbl1.ap_vchr_type)="i")
AND (([2010].gl_period_id)=[Forms]![Form1]![SelectedPeriod]));



Not sure why I'm getting this error. Does anyone have a solution page
for it?

If you change the query to a select query is the select query updatable?

Do you have primary keys on the two tables? Is 2010 a table or another query.
If it is another query, what is that query? And if it is a query, then is
the 2010 query updatable?

About the only way that SQL will work is if the combination of fields is the
primary key in one table AND the are joined together in the Relationships
window with Referential Integrity enabled.

You might be able to get it to work using the 2010 table in a subquery
within the WHERE clause.
