Update query (2003)

The following is a SQL representing an update query that returns the error “You must use an updatable query”. The query I am using to update the table holds 6 records, and when I view the new query it shows the 6 records to be updated. What’s up?

UPDATE tblFeeCalculation INNER JOIN qryFeeCalculation1 ON (tblFeeCalculation.Plan = qryFeeCalculation1.Plan) AND (tblFeeCalculation.Month = qryFeeCalculation1.Month) AND (tblFeeCalculation.Cusip = qryFeeCalculation1.Cusip) SET tblFeeCalculation.FindersFee = [FindersFeeI];

Because you have qryFeeCalculation in there your query is not updateable. What I do is create a temporary table first and then join this table in place of the query to do the update. I then delete the temporary table.

Thank you. I really missed you guys while your site was down.

I have noticed when I use the NZ function I cannot format Currency. Is there a way around this?

You can convert the result of Nz to currency using the CCur function, for example

MyAmount: CCur(Nz([Amount],0))

This should automatically be displayed as currency, and you can also select Currency in the Format property.
