Hello again,
Problem: I created a query to pull a set of records by workorder number. It works like a champ. However, I need the user to update/edit the records if need be. I am displaying the query results in a form. However, when I try to change an entry in any of the fields, I get a "ding" and nothing changes. The records are there for display (it seems) and nothing can be done to edit them. Everything I've read tells me it should be doable, but I am doing something wrong. I have set all properties for users to able to Allow Edits, Allow Deletions and Allow additions under Data Properties for the form.
So, where am I missing the boat?
The database resides in Network Drive with Novell controlling user rights. My network guy says that is nothing on his end. Alledgedly :).

You can't make changes to a calculated field. If the query is pulling the data straight from a table, then you can make a change to that, which will reflect itself in the table.

I'll double check my query, but I am pretty sure it is straight from the table. By calculated you mean if the query is pulling data from another query or table, correct?

No, I mean if the field has some sort of operation performed on it such as addition or concatenation.
Okay, I know I dont have any math in the fields. However, I may be concatenating. Off to check.

Remember I said such as, check if you use any functions as well.

An easy way to check if a query is updatable is to open it and, if it is updatable, there will be a record slot at the end (marked *) for entering a new record. If this is not there then your query is not updatable.
Thxs for your help gents. I was concatenating one field. Thxs for quick tip Neopa.

Hi All,
I have a select query which is based on tblOne and tblTwo. The query selects

What I need to do is to change the value in Field9 in tblOne for all the

I am not sure if I should use an update query or if I use some vba code.

For years I have been using VBA extensively for updating data to tables
after processing. By this I mean if I had to do some intensive processing

existing records, whichever was relevant. This may also include deleting
records.
Now I generally do this by opening a recordset on the source data...

Is it possible to change a tables contents to match that of a query? So everytime a query is run, whatever output results are achieved, it automaticlally changes...

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.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
