I have a combo box on a form to which it is bound. When I try to select a different option in the combo box on the status menu I get: This redordset is not updateable. I can't figure out what causes this.

Do you only get it for that combo box, not the rest of the form? What does the Record Source line say under Properties.Data?

SELECT DISTINCT Cards.Name FROM Cards INNER JOIN Sales ON Cards.CardRecordID=Sales.CardRecordID WHERE (((Year([Date]))=Year(Date())-1)) GROUP BY Cards.Name;

I know not to use [Date] as a field name but I am linked to another database and can't change. The combo box is populated but won't let me select anything.

The DISTINCT line is what's making it non-updateable, I believe. If you can remove it, do so, otherwise you might have to rework your form.
If you didn't design this combo box yourself, but it came from a wizard, etc, let us know what you're trying to do with this combo box and maybe there's an alternative way.
I don't know what effect, if any, having a field named [Date] will have in this instance. It would appear from the Microsoft Support Center that Date is no longer a reserved word for versions 2000 and higher. YMMV.

Good luck,
