Union query updatable or not

Hi,
Here is my code for the Union query "Table [Mytable1]
union Table [Mytable2] union Table [Mytable3];"
The tables are actually queries themselves.
I made a form for the query, but when I try to update the form, I get a
message that says "This recordset is not updatable." Can I somehow make it
updatable?

Thanks
P.S. Using access 2000.

Er, no. Imagine you're the database engine and get a new record. How do
you know which table to put it in?

No. Union queries are never updatable.
Next best thing may be to update yourself, which means you need to
know which table a particular record came from. This is a handy way to
do that:
select "table1" as TableFrom, * from table1
union
select "table2" as TableFrom, * from table2

I am using Access 2K as a front end to a MYSQL database. I am trying to run a Union query on the MYSQL database. The query is (much simplified) SELECT as ID from faxdata UNION SELECT as ID from letdata UNION SELECT as ID FROM MEMODATA; I get an ODBC error. The same query runs when the backend files are MDB files and it runs with MYSQL if I only combine 2 tables.

Hi: Most of the time when I do a query and it has no matches, there is a single blank line in the result that I can test.

I am using macros, and on other blank queries I have been checking a field that will always been filled in and seeing it if isnull. This query...

Hello, everybody, Please be so kind to explain how it is possible to make a query pass through in Access 97 vs SQL server updatable. The query is "SELECT CDC. * FROM CDC": it is very simple and there is no join with other tables. The same table linked directly to SQL server is updatable, while the query isn't. Thanks very much Mario.
