    Can't Update Tables from Form - Form Locked?

    Every time I try to update using frmCustomers, I get an error saying that the recordset is not updatable.

    I don't understand why.

    A form can enter/edit data to only one table. Including multiple tables that have a many relationship to another table makes the dataset not editable.

    If you want to enter/edit data into tblCustomers and related tblCustomerEmail and tblCustomerPhoneNumbers, use form/subforms arrangement.
