I get this error: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Operation must use an updateable query.
/messages/forum/inc_functions.asp, line 644
I'm hoping this is a file permissions error only. I've spent a day at work trying to get this board to work. If it is a permissions issue, do I need to change the permissions of the Access file itself?
For some unknown reason that even my web host can't answer, they occasionally remove the write permissions on my directory that contains my databases, and thus I get this message. I then have to call in and have them change it again. Is there any way I can detect this message or the write permission problem and put up a message like "My web host lost the write permissions again. Please send an email to ----"?

If it happens with regularity, maybe the message should read "please bear with us while we change ISP's" :)
You may be able to trap the error by wrapping the first database access in some error trapping, and determining if the error was due to the 'updateable query' problem.
