Hi,
I want to update data in table using form. I have 1 combo box on my form,
where I choose one number from 1 column in table, and then, all other fields
on my form have been filled in. And now, I want to change some information
about that number.
How can I do that? Do I have to use form with subform? I read that I can
update table using form, only if I use form with subform, and in the main
form I have this combo box, and subform has these other fields whitch I want
to update.
But, how to create form with subform if I have only one table (so I don't
have one-to-many relationship, which I need for Form with subform)?
 
You should not need a subform, just the form will do. Use the form wizard, if
necessary, to add your form and all the fields you want. Put a command button
 
But, my form doesn't let me to enter anything in text fields, it says:
Control can't be edited; it's bound to the expression 'Number.column(1)'

I got this message every time when I try to add, or change data in those
text fields. So, command button can't help me, in this situation.
 
Check and see if your query is editable, meaning at the bottom there is an
arrow and asterisk. If the query is not editable your form won't be either.
