updating a table from a form

I have a Table that contains data that I use in a query to manipulte the
data through expressions. I have a form that uses the query for manipulating
the data. How do I write the changed values back to the table from the form?
I know it changes the query values so do I have to use an update query? I
also need this to be refreshed in realtime. I have tried relationships but I
find it adds a drop-down box to the table and is not really what I need for
this particular situation.

thanks,
Derek.

I would try to make the table the recordsource for the form in that way you
prevent the problem altogether.

The other option is to make a query the source of the form, but make the
source of the query to be the table.

In that way it is always real-time and you do not open yourself up for a
raft of problems when updating the data.
