How to determine if a recordset is updatable
At the end of a procedure in which I rs.edit, when I close the rs, I need to know whether the rs has been written to, in order to determine whether to rs.update or not. Otherwise, rs.update throws an error if the rs has not been altered. Is there a test that determines this?

Are you trying to update after closing the recordset?
rs.close should come after the rs.Update.

rs.close should come after the rs.Update.
Yes ... let me add the Close:
With CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("S
If .Updatable = False Then
MsgBox " sorry no can do"
Exit Function
End If
.Edit
' set values here
.Update ' data is Written here.
.Close ' **********
End With
With CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("S
If .Updatable = False Then
MsgBox " sorry no can do"
Exit Function
End If
.Edit
' set values here
.Update ' data is Written here.
.Close ' **********
End With
