Why am I getting the error in Access 2010 "Current Recordset does not support updatin

[firebirdxvi]

I am using Access 2010 and I am getting this error:

"Current Recordset does not support updating. There may be a limitation of the provider, or of the selected locktype."

Dim SQLstr as String
Dim R as ADODB.Recordset
Set R = New ADODB.Recordset

SQLstr = "SELECT * FROM TABLE1;"
R.OPEN SQLstr, CurrentProject.Connection, _
adOpenDynamic, adLockReadOnly

R.AddNew 'error here

I have tried many combinations of locktypes and tried to look at similar questions asked, but I have no idea why this error is happening. Thanks in advance for any input!

firebird,
Welcome to Bytes.com. Weekends arent't the busiest time here, but there's usually at least one guy on deck. I guess that's me, today, even though I don't use ADO much.

If you read you own code you'll see the answer is obvious. You're opening the table in Read Only mode - read only means not in write mode.

Take a look at this: http://www.w3schools.com/ado/prop_rs_locktype.asp

Note the LockTypeEnum enumerator spells out the different values for that parameter. You probably want adLockOptimisti c.

Ha! Whoops. I thought I'd copied over directly from another module that worked so I was falsely confident that wasn't the problem.

Of course I see it now and it works. Thanks for answering my question, I'm really new to this VBA stuff.
