I am using PHP 4.2.3 on a Window 2K Pro box with Service Pack 3 installed. I am trying to access an MS Access 2000 database through the MS Access ODBC driver. When I try to write to a table, using an INSERT INTO command (see below) I get the following error: "Operation must use an updateable query" The SQL statement that I am trying to odbc_exec is as follows: INSERT INTO testtab ([user_name],[subject],[comment]) VALUES ('chad','test data','Comment x') This works when I run it as a query in MS Access, and I've been able to get info from the database using "SELECT" statements. I'm just not sure what the "Operation must us and updatable query" means. I actually found the same error in the help files for MS Access and this is what it says, but to me it is just as unintelligible as the message: This error occurs when the current query's Update To row includes a field from either a crosstab query or select query in which an aggregate (total) was calculated for the field (using either the Totals row or a domain function in the Field row). To update a field using the aggregate of another field, calculate the aggregate in the update query itself, not a different query. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
