Browse All TopicsI am linking a table from another SQL DB but I keep getting an error saying recordset is not updateable. I have done this before with other tables from different db's and it works fine when the tables are given the appropiate permissions. I have the permissions set the same as the tables that do work - any ideas what else may be causing it.

Views can be updateable as long as ALL Foreign/Primary Keys are represented correctly in the View ... so if you have a table that includes a Lookup field (for example, an Inventory table that contains a column named InventoryType, which is related to a table storing different InventoryTypes, obviously) you must include the column from the "main" table that stores the FK that relates it to the Lookup. For the Inventory example, my view would have to include the Inventory.InventoryTypeId field ... if not, the view wouldn't be updateable.

If you are linking to a SQL table, the SQL table MUST have a Unique index in order to update.
VIEWS (I'm pretty sure) are not updateable at all.
