Search key not found in record - ISAM SEEK??

[Grace]

Hello, I am receiving an error message that states:
"The search key was not found in any record". The help
section states something about ISAM SEEK is being executed
and there are not matching records in the index.

What does this mean. The field I am trying to update
looks at a list table. I've never had this problem
surface before so I'm very confused.

Thank you.

Hi Steve,
I'm not sure what SQL to post. The particular field that
I am trying to modify is a combo box that looks up values
from a table. The field is contained in a subform. Do
you want the SQL for the query that the subform is based
on?

Thank you,Grace

Ah... we have a semantics problem, I thought you had a problem with an
Access Query, but you really have a Query about an Access Problem. I wish
they'd change the name of this newsgroup.

So, you have a form(FYI, there is a Forms newsgroup), that has a combobox.
When you make a selection from the combobox, you are getting an error about
an ISAM. I can assume that Access is used for the FrontEnd of this
application(Forms, Reports, etc), but is it also used for the backend? Are
the data tables stored in this or another .mdb file? Or, do you use SQL
Server, Oracle, or some other database application to store the data.

Access is used for both the frontend and backend. The
tables are stored in a be file located on a server.

Should I post this question on the forms newsgroup? I
assumed it was a query issue since "Access Help" stated
that ISAM SEEK is a query issue.

Thank you,
Grace
