Question : Operation must use an updatable query. (Error 3073)

I get this error when the program is trying to update a table in a query, say Query1. This table in Query1 is joined to another query in the application, Query2 . I suspect it is this second query that is causing the trouble. I have asked my DBA to change the permissions in the tables used in both queries, and she did, but I still get the updatable query error.
Is there anything else I can do?

Answer : Operation must use an updatable query. (Error 3073)

can you post sample data, including your 'query1' sql?  it may be as simple as changing join strategy.
