Error Message:
Operation must use an updateable query. /file.asp 12
Cause:
The most common reason this error is generated is the database or directory containing the database you are trying to access does not have the correct permissions.
Resolution:
Either move the database to the "access_db" directory or add read/write permissions to the directory where the database resides.
