Can't add new records to subform

[tmort]

I have a form subform. The subform is based on a query so I can add fields from another table. When I have the query configured with the second table I cannot add new records to the subform. If I take this table out of the underlying query I can add new records.

I've tried every join type with no luck. I'm a little rusty with Access and can't figure this out.

Any ideas?

Most likely you will need another subform for the other table.

I guess I don't follow.

I've tried adding another form based on the second table to both the main form and the subform and I still can't add a record to the original subform.

Could you elaborate?

Without seeing your database, I can't really because I would need to see how it is all put together (including the forms) to see where you might have something set incorrectly.

Multi-table queries are frequently Read-Only. Have a look at Allen Browne's explanation here:

Be sure your query isn't Distinct, Access property Unique Rows.
If your query has unique rows selected it can't be used in a form to update.
