Recordset is not Updatable error when linking tables

53 New Member
Hi,

A coworker of mine can not link or import tables into her Access database files, whether its from the server or from her own harddrive. When she tries, she is getting the message "Recordset is not Updatable." I asked her to put the database file and the excel file on the server so I can try it from my computer and everything worked perfectly fine from my computer.

Does anybody know what the problem is from her computer and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance,

Raza

Hi RZ15. Could you advise where your friend is trying to run the DB from? If it is from her hard disk then the lack of updatability is a real puzzle, but if it is on a shared network drive there may be a permissions issue with your friend's network rights preventing write updates. I am most familiar with Novell Netware systems, and for users to have full update rights to the shared database they would need to be granted Read, Write, Edit, Create and Delete permissions.

Hmm, it is possible that she was running the file from off the server and does not have the rights (even though she should). She is on vacation, so I will check with her on Thursday when she comes back and then let you know if the problem is still there.

Thanks.

Hello, When I try to run the following code I get an error: "Recordset not updatable". It is possible to show data from the same table on a webpage, so the database name and the table nam must be correct. I 've tried several other things, also leaving out the adOpenDynamic, adlockOptimistic. If I run this code as VBA in an Access database, it works without problems. <%

Hi, I made a database and split it to one back end and one front end. I am using Access 2000. I put the front end db on my co workers' computers and the back end on the server. The problem is some of them are not working because of "recordset is not updatable". Looks like VB is not working. I don't understand on most of my co workers' computers, the same database is working fine. On 2 machines, the DB has the same problem. The Access...

I have a very basic query that Access 2000 will not allow to be updatable. I've gone through all the situations in the help file where data cannot be updated, and I don't see that this query belongs to any of those. I have checked all permissions, locks, etc.. - can't find anything out of the ordinary that would explain it. Deleted the DistinctRow - no change. The SQL version is below - anyone notice the problem or have any...

Is it possible to use the built-in filter functions (ie. "Filter by Selection", etc..) when a form's recordsource has been set to a recordset object during the load event. When I try to do this, I receive the message "Cannot apply filter on one or more fields specified in the filter property". here is the code for the recordset creation: Set conn = New ADODB.Connection Set rsSQL = New ADODB.Recordset

Hi I have a database that I use to keep track of the sales promotions that we send to companies. I normally send a mailing based on a subset of the companies in the database (found using the query: QryICTMassDistribution3) , I then use a form and the code below to create a new record in the corrispondence table to show what corrispondence has been sent to various companies.

I have a postgresql backend with an access front end and I am trying to redefine the recordset of the form to use an ADO recordset. The problem is that the CursorType always changes to AdOpenStatic, even if I choose adOpenDynamic. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know. The form works great for viewing, but I cannot update or insert any new records. Below is the code I am using: connectstr = "DSN=SAP_PG;uid=postgres" Set conn...

Configuration: Access 2002 and SQL Server 2000 using a .ADP Project. I would VERY MUCH appreciate anyone's input into this problem I'm having. I have a form in Access that does not permit the user to add/change/delete any data, apparently as a result of adding a GROUP BY clause to a View used indirectly as the form's Record Source. I really don't believe that this restriction needs to be there, and I'm hoping that someone can suggest...

Overview: 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.
