how can I add records through a query in access?

Question

Before I remade this simple database, I was able to perform a query and update and insert new records from that query. I can no longer do this and can't figure out why.

I'm not very knowledgeable with access so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a feeling that this may have something to do with the auto number column that no longer exists. Basically, it wouldn't allow me to change the data type after I had entered data into the table. I needed to do this to preserve the primary key as they match the client's records and cannot be changed.

If I understand you right you have a query that used to work (and insert records in a table) and now doewsn't work anymore? Can you post the SQL of the query and the structure of the table that you are inserting in? That will make it a lot easier for the rest of the world to help you.
