The tables supplying the correct value did not have a primary key. When I identified one, the query works. Who would thunk it.:rolleyes:
Thank you.:)
Do you know of any source for information on using Access as a front end, or for upgrading ACCESS to SQL Server?
The record only locks in SQL Server if you have opened it to UPDATE or DELETE it, a simple read will not lock it.
Go to the SQL forum and ask. I suspect you need to build a stored proc which will lock the record if you access it to read only
The Access database shows linked table to SQL Server (tblWork) and maintains local copies (tblWork_Local)
Before I upgraded to this configuration from a simple Access database, this update query worked
UPDATE tblWork
INNER JOIN tblWrkWkAllDates
ON tblWork.BDT = tblWrkWkAllDates.WDate...
