Combo Box

[Brady Snow]

I am using a query to populate a combo box. All that
works fine. When I try to select a item from the combo
box I get an error saying "This recordset is not updatable"

Why do I get this message.

Many thanks!!

First guess: the combo box is bound to a field in the query that is the
form's recordsource, and that query is a nonupdateable query. (Note that
this has nothing to do with the query that you're using to populate the row
source of the combo box.)

Without seeing the SQL statement that is the form's recordsource query, it's
difficult to give you additional ideas as to why the query is nonupdateable.
