RE: Updating a view

Ok, I understand that, i think. :) Why i was wiating for a resonce i
decided to link the VB form to a select statment on a table.. I get the same
error message.. Ex.

Given

table foo (
a integer NOT NULL,
name varchar(50) NOT NULL
comment varchac(50) NOT NULL
);

Select * from name = 'Joe'

If i try to switch records after making chages to comment i get the error
(-2147217842).. Only other thing that might effect this is that i have other
tables/views open in subforms that are related to this table.. Do i possible
need to close thoose connections first..(I don't see why i would, as they
should requery when i move the the next record anyways)...

Thanks for the help.
