I have a nice little form with a subform. I enter my key at the prompt and the data for that key fills in the form and subform nicely. However all I can do is view the info. I have another form/subform set in the same DB that does this, but allows me to update information for that set of records. I used the analyzer and the only difference I can see is that the query elements are "Attributes: Variable Length, Updatable" in the one table, but not in the other. How do I set this? I've looked everywhere and cannot find it. TIA

You could try setting the forms Recordset type to Dynaset(Inconsistent Updates)
Hope this helps.

Well, that enabled me to update on the main form, but the subform is still "unupdateable".
