Actually, I solved it but not sure as to why it is.

The SQL string that I used to build my recordset was querying fields from 2 tables and was also adding 4 columns (not related to any table). These fields were set to Null and the result was a recordset with 4 filled fields and 4 empty, non-related, fields.

I realized that the error would occur only on the 4 non-related fields so I changed my SQL string and replace the Null with a table field. The problem disapears and I can update my recordset.

Why it is ... I'm not sure since my recordset is disconnected.

Any comments would be appreciated.
