Operation must use an updateable query

[chrab]

Anyone,
Here is my delima! I have two sites on two different servers. Today I was updating a database(MS Access) on one of my sites and when I pasted it back onto the server I get this message on any form that is trying to update or delete from that server.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operation must use an updateable query.

/admin/mapedit2.asp, line 111

I have other Databases in the same folder on that server that perform other functions and they work ok. I have called the ISP and had them check the permissions on the folder, DB , and ODBC and they said everything looks ok. I have checked the Database and cannot find any errors. It is just wierd becasue the forms worked before I modified the database and even the forms from tables I had not updated will not work.

On my other site the same thing happend. This site is with a different ISP. I had them check the permissions and they said it looks fine. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Is there still an old LDB laying around? Sometimes that can cause this problem.

But as you know, almost always this error is caused by a permission issue...

I've checked for Misc LDB's and I even Deleted the folder and have tried to recreate the DB. Here is a sample of the code I use to insert a record along with the connection file. Can anyone spot an error? Thanks

But as you know, almost always this error is caused by a permission issue...

I also ahve yet to see another reason behind this error other thatn permissions. You didn't reference checking that. did you? makes sense if you can update on one db and not the other with the same script


and straight from the mouth of the giant MS
