Thanks for your reply

I was wondering, bacause when i did the same with a remote view
(form a sqlserver databases) it was working.

Now i have to run 2 queries.

Kind regards

>You will find the same behavior with SQL, FWIW. Basically, you are creating a new cursor, which is based on two tables. As such, when you attempt an update, ADO, and more specfically, the OLE-DB Provider for ODBC, does not know what is to be updated. Esstentially, it gets confused.

If you navigate to a specific record in the one recordset, you can then set the filter property or use the find method to locate related records for display. If there could be more than one match, I would suggest using the Filter Property.
