Edit Union Query??
Does anyone know if it is possible to have a Union Query that is writable? I
have two tables for parts shipped, spares and repair. After they have shipped, serial #'s are entered on one main page. I would like them all to be in one datasheet rather than two to make things less confusing. Maybe I'm just going about this the wrong way by doing a Union, but don't know any other option. here is my query as of now (that is not a writable format): SELECT MultipleOrderID, PartNumber, SerialNumber FROM MultipleOrderParts UNION ALL SELECT MultipleOrderID, PartNumber, SerialNumber FROM MultipleOrderSpareParts; Plesae help???? thank you!! -- Amanda |

Edit Union Query??
Union queries are not writable, we usually call it 'updateable'.
I am wondering why you would have 2 tables for parts shipped, spares and repair? Perhaps you would explain the table setup in more detail and we may be able to suggest an alternative.

I'd be inclined to use one Parts table related one to many to whatever other table or tables are involved. What are the other fields in MultipleOrderParts and MultipleOrderSpareParts?
