Query criteria

I set up a LIKE criteria on a query whihc allowed my users to search for a specific organisation and then based a form on it. The form and the criteria worked beautifully bringing up the record needed and then I discovered that no one can acutally edit the data! It seems that if you add a criteria to a query the data no longer becomes editable when you use a form to access it.
Is this true? - if so it would be helpful to mention it in your courses. If not, what am I doing wrong?

RE: Query criteria

Hi

I created a basic table with a query like yours, and then based a form on that query. The data seems to be editable.

How did you create the form with the criteria? VBA/macro/command button?

Have you checked the edit properties in the form properties?

Regards

Richard

RE: Query criteria

Hello,
Yes I recreated from scratch and this time it worked! - which leads me to the next problem:

Query 1 with criteria - editable
Query 2 - editable
but when I then add a field from Query 1 to Query 2, the data ceases to be editable. Do you think this is a relationship issue?

Access tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Access 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
