Updating SQL Server table from Access VBA

I have an Access database that was getting close to the 2gig limit so I converted the primary tables to SQL Server.

My query for pulling 195K rows into SQL table is working.

Before I begin producing reports, I need to update a number of fields on that master table.

Everything I do, I am getting a 3073 error; Operation must use an updatable query

The following query is constructed from a Recordset to give me the component parts.
Code:
UPDATE dbo_tbl_Sales_Data_Pass SET dbo_tbl_Sales_Data_Pass.[Lead Time Category] = '000-013' 
WHERE (((dbo_tbl_Sales_Data_Pass.[Num of Days Order to Request])>=0 
And (dbo_tbl_Sales_Data_Pass.[Num of Days Order to Request])<=13));
UPDATE dbo_tbl_Sales_Data_Pass 
SET dbo_tbl_Sales_Data_Pass.[Lead Time Category] = '000-013' 
WHERE (((dbo_tbl_Sales_Data_Pass.[Num of Days Order to Request])>=0 
And (dbo_tbl_Sales_Data_Pass.[Num of Days Order to Request])<=13));

Do I need to pass this thru a DAO.Connection? Is my syntax wrong?

Do I need to qualify the table with dbo.TableName?
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Why is the query code repeated twice?
Is that the way you really have it, or is that a typo?

What do you mean by a sql query that is constructed from a recordset? You might need to give more of the code. Also your sql doesn't give a databasename in the sql so you'd have to be sure you are connected to the right database on the server.
