I need help. Instead of creating fresh tables in my access database, I linked to existing SQL2000 tables. All seemed to be fine until I opened up a form and attempted to edit the data. It didn't let me and I saw the message 'This recordset is not updatable' on my status bar. Why is not updatable? How can I change this?
Help!
 
Is the record source for your form a table or a query?

The recordsource is a query because I am using a parameter field.
 
If you are linking tables together in a query, and if you are showing "Totals" in the QBE grid while building your query, then you may not be able to update any of the query output. Could you please post the SQL?

I'm not showing any totals. This is my query:

SELECT dbo_account.disabled, dbo_account.account_id, dbo_account.account_level_code, dbo_account.short_name, dbo_account.user_field_1, dbo_account.user_field_2, dbo_account.user_field_3, dbo_account.user_field_5, dbo_account.user_field_6, dbo_account.user_field_7, dbo_account.user_field_8, dbo_account.source_system_id, dbo_account.short_term_gainloss, dbo_account.med_term_gainloss, dbo_account.long_term_gainloss, dbo_account.name_1, dbo_account.client_account_id, dbo_account.rounding_quantity, dbo_account.error_tracking
FROM dbo_account
WHERE (((dbo_account.name_1) Like [Type in account or * for all]+'*'));
