Combining Two Queries Into One

[KarenW]

How can I pull data from two queries into one and still be able to
enter/modify data in the new query? Everything I can think of allows me to
pull the data into one query but I can't do anything with it. I have a
personnel database and I want to see all of the employees pay and personal
info in one query instead of moving between two queries. I have
relationships set up since the employee name and employee number are the same
in both queries.

hello Karen,

Is there a one to many relation between the tables ?

It is very possible that you cannot.
In Access Help type the following in the Answer Wizard tab
When can I update data from a query
Select that from the list for an explanation of some of the causes and
alternative solutions.

Access MVP Allen Browne has summarized the reasons:

Query results will be read-only if any of the following apply:
.. It has a GROUP BY clause (totals query).
.. It has a TRANSFORM clause (crosstab query).
.. It contains a DISTINCT predicate.
.. It uses First(), Sum(), Max(), Count(), etc. in the SELECT clause (performs
aggregation).
.. It involves a UNION.
.. It has a subquery in the SELECT clause.
.. It uses JOINs of different directions on multiple tables in the FROM clause.
.. The query's Recordset Type property is set to Snapshot.
.. The query is based on another query that is read-only (stacked query.)
.. Your permissions are read-only (Access security.)
.. The database is opened read-only, or the file attributes are read-only, or
the database is on read-only media (e.g. CD-ROM, network drive without write
privileges.)

Plus a query that involves more than 3 tables is almost always read-only.
