Dear All,

I have one database in microsoft access 2007 in which there is a table named downloaded resources in which there is a " yes / no " column (checkbox) which is no by default and there are around 15000 rows in that table, now what i want to do is make a query which could check all that checkbox in one go..

I have tried this query: UPDATE resource SET isdownloaded = 'Yes' where ResourceId = 10786 ;

i am only trying to update one row but it is showing me you cant update this records..

Please suggest me how to resolve this problem...

Regards,
Krunal panchal

Solution 1

When I check the SQL statement used in Access 2007 you can use either

SQL

UPDATE resource SET isdownloaded = True where ResourceId = 10786 ;

or

SQL

UPDATE resource SET isdownloaded = Yes where ResourceId = 10786 ;

Solution 2

May be its opened exclusively by another program so it has became read only.

Or may be its design view is open in another window so you can not change the tables ?

Or may be the file is readonly ?

And the syntax of query is OK so no other things are imaginable !
