Do you have the right kind of recordset? The only updateable recordset
I think is a dynaset. For the odbc driver to be able to use it, you
probably have to use the cursor library, since the driver does not deal
with keysets internally. So there should be a setting in VBA somewhere
to tell it use the cursor library.
You should have the "Use Declare/Fetch" flag disabled.
You probably need to have the "recognize unique indexes" set to enabled,
and of course you need a physical unique index on the table in question.
