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.
