What is the meaning of this error?
Operation Must Use An Updateable Query
???
5  2121 
Usually it means you can't update a table from a query that is itself
not updateable - as is the case with most queries involving tables with
one-to-many relationships etc.
The trick is to have it as an append query, writing the values to a
seperate temporary table and then run another query to update the
values from this to the table you were trying to update in the first
place. Pain in the @rse but the only workaround i know of.
....of course this might not be the problem: more details please :)
Actually, you may have shed meaningful light on the issue for me. I'll
have to study about it some more. Any idea why the problem might
show up on an A97 runtime app installed on a Win98 box and NOT
on an XP box? Believe me, tested 'n verified. Brand new install does
not result in err launching on XP, but opposite is true on a 98-box.

I must apologize. Somehow, the installation of the A97 runtime
app onto a Win98 box resulted in the mde file being read-only.
Attrib MyFile.mde returned +R. After changing it, the problem
went away. I need to post another topic asking "Why would
A97 runtime installation create the target mde file with +R
(read only) file attribute setting on a Win98 box?" I think I'll
ask that of the group.
Probably a dll problem. De-compile it, install it and then re-compile
on the target machine... that should circumvent vbe6.dll errors anyway,
but it's hard to know - access doesnt move from platform to platform
very happily. different versions of jet, odbc, vb environment etc tend
to conflict with one another. sorry i cant be of more help
That's quite alright. Thx for the comments. Its easy enough, the work
around. Just change the file attribute on the target machine once
installed. Only necessary once.

I have a query that is pretty straightforward and I am trying to
generate 5 reports from that query. The reports produce totals by
Project Manager, Category, Client, Account Manager and Account
Executive. The first three reports work fine. However, when I try to
change the sorting and grouping to either Account Manger or Account
Executive, I get an "Invalid Operation" error and the report does not
open.
Has anybody seen this before?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
