Change data in single field using a Query
Greetings,
I have a multi-table database with junction tables for many-to-many links. I use combo boxes for some ot the standard query data (to enable accurate queries). Lately, I've been pull out my short hair. I go to a query (or a form based on that query) and attempt to change combo box data (say "pending" to "approved." The combo box drops down as it should, but when I highlight the new status (approved), I get a beep and nothing happens. No update, no message, no nuthin'. I've tried everything I can think of to no success. Has anyone an idea? -- PJ

Apparently your queries are not updateable. Each join in your query should
have a unique field or fields (primary key) on one side of the join. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "PJ" wrote in message ...
