Wants to issue a SQL query for modifications but can't uniquely identify the record.

Microsoft SQL Server), Access/Jet requires the table to be keyed to make any changes.

The table being modified is a linked table without a primary key.

Some reasons are less obvious but can't be avoided:

The query uses VBA functions or user defined functions and the database isn't enabled (trusted) to allow code to run.

You don't have permissions/rights to edit the table or database.

The field is a calculated field, so it can't be edited.

The query is a Totals query (uses GROUP BY) or Crosstab query (uses TRANSFORM), so the records aren't individual records.
