I have Two tables (Table1 and Table2). Both tables have a common field
called part number. Table 1 contains an extra field that i would like
to update table 2 to match if the part number matches. I created a
join between Table1 and Table 2 but couldn't update Table 2 since the
recordset was unupdateable.
What i would like:
Table 1
Part Number Field 2
A BC b
DEX U
DFDA 6
Table 2 Field 2
ABC is null
I would like Field2 in table 2 to put in the B or at least allow me to
manually put it in without having to look up every part number
manually. If i could get a list and then copy over Field 2 that would
be fine.

A simple query joined on one field should be updateable.
join on the part number. set criterai for table1.field2 "is not
null" without the quotes. set the criteria for table2.field2 as
"IS Null" without the quotes. Run the select query and see if
you can add a new record (the >* at the bottom is not greyed
out). If it is greyed out, you have some sort of problem with
the primary keys of your table.
If you can add a row, you can convert to an update query. You
could also just click in the titlebar of table1.column2 to
select all the rows, and {ctrl-C} (copy) then select tho other
column2 and paste {Ctrl-V}.

Bob,
thanks for the help. I have tried what you suggested but the query is
not updateable. The >* is greyed out. What kind of problem might i
have with my primary keys?
thanks for your time,

What is the primary key in each of the two tables?
if there is no primary key, or the PK from the table you wish to
update in the query isn't in the query, this could cause the
query to be read-only.
Are the tables local or in a linked database?
In the query design mode check the Recordset Type property,
You might try setting this property to Dynaset (inconsistent
updates) instead of Dynaset.
Make sure that the unique values and unique records properties
are set to no.

First up, I am using MS Access 2002.
I have a database which records analyst rating changes for a list of

up (by my predecessor, I hasten to add) so that each day it creates a
copy of the record for each company, changes the date to today's date,
and prompts the user for any changes of ratings on that day. The
resulting data table grows by approx 600 records per...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
