Updateable Query Error When Using Access Db
up vote 9 down vote favorite 2 I am getting an error message: "Operation must use an updateable query" when I try to run my SQL. From my understanding, this happens when joins are used in update/delete queries in MS Access. However, I'm a little confused because I have another query almost identical in my database which works fine. This is my troublesome query: UPDATE [GS] INNER JOIN [Views]
Access Updateable Query Join
ON ([Views].Hostname = [GS].Hostname) AND ([GS].APPID = [Views].APPID) SET [GS].APPID = [Views].APPID, [GS].[Name] = [Views].[Name], [GS].Hostname = [Views].Hostname, [GS].[Date] = [Views].[Date], [GS].[Unit] = [Views].[Unit], [GS].[Owner] = [Views].[Owner]; As I said before, I am confused because I have another query similar to this, which runs perfectly. This is that query: UPDATE [Views] INNER JOIN [GS] ON [Views].APPID = [GS].APPID SET [GS].APPID = [Views].APPID, [GS].[Name] = [Views].[Name], [GS].[Criticial?] = [Views].[Criticial?], [GS].[Unit] = [Views].[Unit], [GS].[Owner] = [Views].[Owner]; What is wrong with my first query? Why does the second query work when the first doesn't? ms-access share|improve this question edited Nov 5 '13 at 18:02 Charles 40k1069107 asked Nov 5 '13 at 13:06 Andrew Martin 2,84321967 add a comment| 7 Answers 7 active oldest votes up vote 12 down vote accepted Whether this answer is universally true or not, I don't know, but I solved this by altering my query slightly. Rather than joining a select query to a table and processing it, I changed the select query to create a temporary table. I then used that temporary table to the real table and it all worked perfectly. share|improve this answer answered Nov 5 '13 at 14:08 Andrew Martin 2,84321967 3 Ah, so [Views] was

Solved Access - "operation must use an updateable query" Posted on 2013-03-12 MS Access 5 Verified Solutions 39 Comments 10,666 Views Last Modified: 2013-03-12 Hi! I just created (what I thought was) a simple query. I want it to take data from another query, and update the corresponding fields (based on primary keys) in a table. However, when I try to run it, I get an error - "operation must use an updateable query". Does anyone know why this might be? Here's my SQL, in case you need it. UPDATE SalesRepMonthlyOpenOrdersAggregateQ INNER JOIN SalesRepMonthlyT ON (SalesRepMonthlyOpenOrdersAggregateQ.Salesperson = SalesRepMonthlyT.Salesperson) AND (SalesRepMonthlyOpenOrdersAggregateQ.Month = SalesRepMonthlyT.Month) AND (SalesRepMonthlyOpenOrdersAggregateQ.Year = SalesRepMonthlyT.Year) SET SalesRepMonthlyT.OpenOrderPrice = [sumofprice]; Select all Open in new window Thanks!!! 0 Question by:etech0 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 46 Active today Best Solution byDale Fye (Access MVP) You might be able to create a temporary table (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS_Access/A_9753-Creating-and-using-Temporary-Tables-in-Microsoft-Access.html) from your grouping query, Go to Solution 39 Comments LVL 30 Overall: Level 30 MS Access 28 Message Active today Assisted Solution by:hnasr2013-03-12 Convert the query to a select query.
