I am trying to update a table in our join database (Access), but it gives me error "The Recordset is not updatable."
This table is a share table. I believe somebody in my group try to set security setting level or try to join several tables. I'd appreciated any help.

Hi all
I have a database of mortgage applications.
I have a query 'QryCasesToWork' which identifies applications to work based on a complex set of criteria.
Once the query has run, I need a field called 'ToDo' to update to 'yes'. Unfortunately, one of the preceding queries which goes to make up QryCasesToWork is a Union query, meaning that all the subsequent results are non-updatable.
Is there an easy way to take the application numbers returned in QryCasesToWork, and update the appropriate ToDo fields in the table?
I had a vague thought of using a Make Table query form the results of QryCasesToWork then querying that table against my main table to update the field, but this seems to me to be a cumbersome and unwieldy solution.
Does anyone have the 'correct' solution? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
Hi!
A form is based on query which is based on a table.
The table is splitted into 2, then the form has a "recordset not updatable" error...
does anyone have any idea on this?
thanks very much
Hi all,
Not sure where to start on this one!
First I have a main form “FormA” formA has a subform “FormB” in a datasheet format. I have one of the fields in “FormB” Double-Click Event procedure as follows:
Private Sub Results1_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Refresh
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
If panel = 5 Then
stDocName = "Subform5"
ElseIf panel = 8 Then
stDocName = "Subform8"
ElseIf panel = "DOT" Then
stDocName = "Subform5"
ElseIf panel = "Breath" Then
stDocName = "SubformBA"
ElseIf panel = "Hair" Then
stDocName = "Subform5"
Else
stDocName = "Subform10"
End If
stLinkCriteria = "[DSID]= " & Me![DSID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
End Sub
This then pops-up a “FormC” (Subform5, Subform8, Subform10, or SubformBA) linked to a specific record from “FormB”. FormC has a drop down field that will allow you to select “Negative or Positive”, and then when FormC is closed, FormB is updated.
This has been working fine for the past 4 months. NO PROBLEMS!!!!
NOW, for no apparent reason when FormC pops-up and I try to click the drop down field; it just BEEPS at me (Almost like the field has locked the user out), then when I close FormC, I get and error: “Recordset is not updatable”. On the FormC (SubformBA), I get no error on close, but I get the word “#error” in the field on FormB.
Has this happen to anyone? Can someone help I have exhausted all thoughts.
Thanks-a-million, ENVIVA
My problem has now moved on to a form issue which means no one has been able to answer is in the queries section of the forum as there is no way around it using queries so i hope you can help. All information is available on this thread. Thanks, Sci http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=100376
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a query which performs a calculation calculating totals of many fields linked by BikeID This is not updatable due to the calculated field. Now i want to join this query to the BikeDetails table to create a form. So this means that i would have all the data from the table which i can update and the calculated field which i cant. But when i join the two tables/query all the data becomes non updatable.
Thanks

Ok ive been having this sort of problem for a while. Ive been trying to display updatable and non updatable data in a datasheet form. The problem is that i couldnt update any of the details with a calculated field in the table. Therefore i have put the calculated field in a subform thanks to someone on the forums request(sorry i cant remember who it was). After referencing the subforms text box i can display the correct information in form view however i cannot display in in datasheet view without expanding the subform [+] for the form to do the calculation. I need the form to go through all records once it opens unless anyone has a better solution. Hope sumone can help,
Thanks Sci
Perplexed as usual.
I have a query that is made from 2 tables in a one to many relationship
The many side is a sum query based on the foreign key from the main table
An example of this would be TblOrders and TblOrderDetails, where the group for the sum of total cost would be the OrderID number from the TblOrderDetails table, which is the foreign key.
Why can’t any fields from the TblOrders be edited in this query?
There can be one and only one record that satisfies that join.
I’m so confused.
I have the following simple query. The query joins the data in two tables and I use it in a bound form. This has worked fine for a couple of years, but today the query is saying it is a non-updatable recordset. This stops users changing any data in the form. I have tried the following to no avail:
compact/repair
recreate the query
copy the whole database into a different MDB file
Is there something silly I might be missing??? I did not changed any of the table structure this problem has just appeared.
Code:SELECT tblWorksOrders.*, tblLocations.* FROM tblWorksOrders INNER JOIN tblLocations ON tblWorksOrders.WOLocationId = tblLocations.LCNIdentifierORDER BY tblWorksOrders.WorksOrderNo, tblWorksOrders.InstructionNo;
Please help, this error is wreking my head:
I have a VB APP updating a an Access DB, i get this error every so ofter:
-214 (load of numbers) Operation must use an updatable query.
I have given full control to to the directory on which the App and the Access sit..
any ideas?
I have a DB where I run two queries every week that extracts data from a Datawarehouse and appends records to a table. Then i run an update query that updates a policy status on the same table the appended records are added to.
For some reason this week when i try to run the update queary i get the following message:
Operation must use an updatable query.
Anyone familiar with this error? The table in not read-only and no other users are in the db
I have the following update query:
UPDATE DISTINCTROW MVADMP_SECURITY INNER JOIN Activity ON MVADMP_SECURITY.CUSIP_NO = Activity.[CUSIP#] SET Activity.[Wire Date] = [BK_ENT_DT]
WHERE (((Activity.[Fannie Mae Loan #]) Is Null));
which works fine in the production environment. However, in the test database, I get an updatabale query error.
The Activity table is a table that is local in each database, while the MVADMP_SECURITY table is in the back end and is used by both the test and production environments. Both Activity tables have the same keys and indexes. I have write permissions for Activity table in both environments, while no one has write permissions to the MVADMP_SECURITY in either environment.
I have tried both copying and importing it into the test environment and the result is always the same; updatabale query error. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I'm struggling with a non-updatable query issue. I have a table at the category level that should allow entry but it needs to pull in information from another query. In this 2nd query, its doing group by/counts/sum's from an item level table. From reading about the dynasets and trying to fix it, it looks like this the major problem.
The item level table has information that is changing based on other user input so I don't think using a make table would work. I tried setting the queries/form to dynaset (inconsistant updates) but no luck there. It still wouldn't allow any changes to the entry field. Any clue on how I could get around this?
Main Table
Category Entry
A. . . . ._____
B. . . . ._____
Item Table
Item Category Sales
1. . . . . .A . . . . $10
2. . . . . .B . . . . $15
3. . . . . .B . . . . $10
This query built using the main table joined with a group by/sum of the item table.
Goal Query for Updates
Category Sales Entry
A. . . . . . . $10. ____

Is there a calander that I can put on my form that will update to current date when I open form

Special situation: The SQL Server Linked Server across the country is linked to a Read Only Oracle DB. This data pull works perfectly and populates the Subform.
The problem is that Oracle can take 3 to 6 seconds to retrieve the single record depending on the network traffic through a small pipe.
The code below shows the RecordSource for the SubForm. clicking on a list box supplies the value. Then 3 to 6 seconds later, the subform populates.
The actual Recordset for this Recordsource is needed to conduct Validation on each field. Normally this would be on SQL Server, I might just create a Recordset Oject and run this SQL statement again in 1 milisecond. In this case, it will probably take an additional 3 to 6 seconds. Avoiding another lengthy round-trip to Oracle would be prefered.
Goal: How does one grab, clone, or other wise reference the existing recordset for the SubForm?
Note: Immediate Window - One single field can be returned quickly
There are 48 fields that need validation - is there a way to reference the entire recordset?
Immediate Window during Break Mode:
? me.fsubsrNavSHLBHL("NavSH_QQ")
NESE ' this is the correct value for the current recordsource
Set a breakpoint right after the line:
fsubsrNavSHLBHL.Form.RecordSource = "Select * from vsrNavigatorSHLBHL where Well_ID =" & txtNavWellID.Value
Immediate Window:
? me.fsubsrNavSHLBHL.Form.RecordSource
Select * from vsrNavigatorSHLBHL where Well_ID =91229
:eek:
I have a query in Access which I have always updated no problem until today. I tried to update the usual fields and it says "This recordset is not updatable". Does anyone know why this would have changed and how I can get it back to updatable?
many thanks

The user currently manual checks the Use Part? box but would I would like to automate with an update query. I have this query that needs to be updatable but has a group by and min to get the correct results. I plan to run this query by another update query to update the table, but its currently not updatable. Is there a workaround or does anyone have another scheme to go at it. Here is my current queries.
SELECT [t_BOM Part Cross].[Customer ID], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Assembly #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Line #], Min([t_BOM Part Cross].[Alt Unit 1]) AS [MinOfAlt Unit 1], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Use Part?]
FROM [t_BOM Part Cross]
GROUP BY [t_BOM Part Cross].[Customer ID], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Assembly #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Line #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Use Part?]
HAVING ((([t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #])=[FORMS]![Parameter]![Quote #]) AND ((Min([t_BOM Part Cross].[Alt Unit 1]))>0))
ORDER BY [t_BOM Part Cross].[Customer ID], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Assembly #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #];
I have another query that I used a SUB SELECT ON THE [Alt Unit 1] but does not group the other fields to get the results but it is updatable.
SELECT [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Line #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Alt Unit 1], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Use Part?]
FROM [t_BOM Part Cross]
WHERE ((([t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #])=[FORMS]![Parameter]![Quote #]) AND (([t_BOM Part Cross].[Alt Unit 1])>(SELECT MIN([Alt Unit 1])>0
FROM [t_BOM Part Cross])))
ORDER BY [t_BOM Part Cross].[Quote #], [t_BOM Part Cross].[Line #];

I recently inherited an MS Access application. To bring it up to company standards, the data needed to be rehosted in DB2. The screens remain in MS Access. To accomplish this with no/minimal code change, I followed these steps:
1) For each access table, I created a DB2 table with the same structure. (table name and field names changed based on company standard)
2) Created a link table in access for each DB2 table
3) removed each Access table and replaced with a query (based on link table) with same name. The query maps field names us AS clause.
The reports and screens paint fine but any update operation results in a 3073 error. 'Operation must use an updateable query'. There are no joins or aggregates in the query.
Any suggetions?
thanks

I have a form (frm_riskcalc3) which its data source is a table called: tbl_targets, on the 'frm_riskcalc3' form are; 15 unbound label text Fields and 15 unbound number value fields that are pre-set with data, I need to find a way to allow these fields to be updated without changing what their values were before.

I have a form consisting of a list box and some fields belonging to a single record. When the user highlights a row in the list box then the fields show the details of that record. Now the whole process is Read only. But I wish to put a toggle switch on the form so that the detail fields of the record become updateable. I have tried the following constructs but I could not make those fields updateable.
Code:
Me.AllowEdits = True
Me.DataEntry = True
Me.fld1.Enabled = True
Me.fld2.Locked = True
As I usually concentrate on building the tables and fields in my initial stage, and do some experimenting to analyze the relationship.
However, when I'm done, I find it quite a hassle to go manually through the tables to add description to each field for documenting.
What I would like to do is create a query that will list all fields and its description. Now, I have found codes to retrieve either table or fields properties, including the description property, but am kind of stumped on how I can make it a SQL statement so I can create a temporary query, which will be pretty be one time thing, that can read all fields' description and allow me to type in it, save it.
If that's not possible, I suppose I could write code, using Allen Browne's example, that would loop through the fields' description, debugging to the immediate window and prompting me if I would like to add something to the blank description. However, this isn't exactly greatest as I need to see all fields so I can be sure I'm giving good descriptions.
I figured someone may have had this same problem and maybe came up with a solution?
I have a form that stores information about attendees for a given class. In this particular instance, I only store one address, one contact information both which are optional. I've used subforms, but that has bought problems (one notable problem is that one field from tblAddress is required for *any* attendee, which is county they resides in, whether they give out an address or not. At this point my VBA codes to work around this is simply too buggy and a major hassle.
Therefore, I am now considering two possibilities: 1) make a unbound form and do everything manually without any subforms or 2) create an updatable query somehow that can pull together the needed information. The latter, I'm not sure if that is feasible, so I'm asking you about that.
Address and Contact Information are kept as a many side tables, and different queries I've made in past only is either non updatable or partially updatable, which does no good. If anyone can show how one can retrieve only one record from the many side and keep it as updatable, that'd be great.
TIA.
Hi guys, I'm a bit confused: I know that opening a bound form will bring down the whole recordset. But if I create a parametered query as the recordsource, will it still bring down the whole recordset first and only afterwards cut down to the records matching the parameters?
Example: I have a clients table with 5000 clients on a backend mdb, and my client lookup form in my frontend mdb. If I open the form looking for just client "Jim Jones" (via the parameter query), will Access bring down all 5000 clients from the backend to my frontend first, and only then seek out "Jim Jones" before discarding the rest of the recordset?
For if this is true then this whole Access business is rather unsuited for networks, even a small one. I hope you guys prove me wrong.

I have two tables that have the exact same fields. In table1 I have records that need to be UPDATED into table2. I tried an Update query and out of 600 records only half of those got updated. In my update query I joined tbl1 and tbl2 by Location (LOC) I checked for Nulls, Blanks, spaces, you name it. I can't figure why they all didn't get updated. I created a SQL query and go the exact same results. Ideally, I would like to create something in VBA to do this. I do not have any forms linked to these tables. In all I have about 600 records and 15 different fields that need to be updated. My example is only for one field.
sql example below. Which is the Access Sql in the Query
sql = "UPDATE tbl2 INNER JOIN tbl1 ON tbl2.LOC = tbl2.LOC" & _
"SET tbl2.Name = tbl1!Name" & _
"WHERE (((tbl2.Name) Is Null));"
Example.
Table1
Field1.Names = John
Table2
Field1.Names = "Need to UPDATE the name 'John' here"
I tried the Recordset .EDIT but I couldn't get it to work using two tables.
