Query with more than one table

[Guest]

I have a query using 2 tables. There is only one field from the second table
in the query. Works great but will not let me edit the values in any of the
fields. What am I missing?

Thanks
Paul

In the Access Help, it tells you that a query between to tables that are
one-to-many related is usually updatable, but there are some restrictions.
Since you don't provide a lot of information below, you might want to refer
to Help. Look for 'updatable queries' in the Answer Wizard. There aren't a
lot of hits.

Good Luck!

Hi,



If you WHERE clause implies the two tables in a comparison, try to move that
"criteria" into a inner JOIN.



ie:

SELECT .... FROM a, b WHERE a.f1=b.f2 AND a.f3=44 AND b.f4<66


into


SELECT .... FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.f1=b.f2 WHERE a.f3=44 AND b.f4 <66


where I moved all the conditions implying both tables from the WHERE clause
into a JOIN.



That may not solve the problem, but if you use the WHERE clause to generate
implicit join, that generally does NOT work, for update.
