Please help 'recordset not updateable' error

[dd_bdlm]

Please help this one is driving me mad! I have searched and read all
the topics on the error message I am receiving but none seem to apply
to me!

I have quite a complex query linking all parts of my database together
doing final calculations etc. This query when run (through the form)
comes up with 'this recordset is not updateable' error. I can run the
query on its own but it wont accept new records (and indeed doesnt have
a blank bottom line to accept new records).

In turn this query has another quite complex query feeding into it.
This one seems fine and I can add new records and have them calculated
on the subsiduary query no problem. Just the last final query. It all
used to work and I have compared it to old copies (and indeed cut and
apsted old copies into the new version of the database for the same
thing to happen!).

Any one have any ideas?

Many thanks in advance for your help

OK here goes. It seems to be this one creating the problem (insurance
totals seems to work and update OK). Many thanks

[query deleted]

Are you by chance trying to update an aggregate field? If so, this
will
be a problem.
