As we all know if you have a form whose record source is a query with more than one table. You cannot update a field cause it says recordset not updatable.<br>But If I add a OnClick Event to th eform so that it writes the one field to an unbound test box. Then change that value click and Update button which write's that new value back to the one correct table using OpenRecordset commands then refresh the form you can change the value in-directly. <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you.
