Discuss "Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Operation must use an updatea" in the ASP Development forum.

Greetings,

I recieve the following error when I try to submit my form data:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Operation must use an updateable query.

What does this mean?

TIA

Welcome to DeveloperBarn, theChris

I'm going to assume you are using a Microsoft Access backend to you ASP application. This error typically means that the Internet User account does not have appropriate permissions on the database and the folder it is contained in. You will want to assign Read and Write permissions to the IUSR_yourmachinename account on the database and the folder that contains it.

Hope this helps

That fixed it, thanks!
