Edit query from a form

[Robin]

Hi. I have a simple query that combines two tables (no expressions, just a
straight join). I have made this query to feed into a form. There are tick
boxes on the form that I would like to be able to tick / untick. However,
the way it is set up at the moment, I cannot edit these tick boxes (because
the information on the form is from a query). Is there a setting or
something that will allow these tick boxes to be ticked / unticked/ Thanks
very much.

I suspect the difficulty is in the query ... if the query itself is not
updateable, the form won't be.

Check Access HELP re: updateable queries for ideas on resolving...

If your query is editable, your form checkboxes should be editable. Look at
the arrow and asterisk on the bottom of the query and see if they are
highlighted. If not, you may have to use your query to make a table and run
your form off the table.

First, see if you can edit the query directly. If not, here are some ideas:
