Yes, that's very annoying. Access apparently is too stupid to

of the effort went into a new UI, and very little into improvements
like this one. My workaround is to write the results of the crosstab
to a "temporary" table, and then use that table to complete the rest
of the update.

running access 2k; mdb w/ linked tables to another mdb
(front/back-end);

trying to run a query that updates a table FROM information from a
crosstab query.
I AM NOTT trying to update the crosstab query itself - only use
information FROM it to update a perfectly updatable table!

Why the ---- would I get this error, when there are clearly NO
permission issues, or issues in updating the table I'm trying to
update!?!?!?!? (I can clearly update it without the XT)

What the ---- good is a crosstab query, if I can't USE the information
within it for something other than reporting?!?!?

Here's my query (the "XT" table is my crosstab):
I'm guessing that maybe I need to use a sub-query to work around this,
but am not sure how, nor why I should have to go this route....

UPDATE Q_answers_XT LEFT JOIN T_final_answers ON
Q_answers_XT.id = T_final_answers.id
SET T_final_answers.q = [Q_answers_XT]![q], T_final_answers.a =
[Q_answers_XT]![a];


any help appreciated...
TIA
