Update underlying table by changing data in query dataset

I have two tables.  I have created a query creating a dataset with one field from Table A which is not updateable and several fields from Table B which I would like to update by entering data directly into the fields while I am viewing the dataset.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help!!
You are welcome.

Please ... with that setting I showed you ... be VERY careful - and be sure that you are updating exactly the fields you want - not for example, updating the One side of a one to Many relationship that has Cascade Updates enabled - etc.

Thanks for the further information.  I will only be updating the many side of the relationship and I will be testing it for a time before it goes live.  Thanks again.
