SYMPTOMS

When attempting to perform a table update, the following message appears:
Query Based Insertion or Updating of BLOB values can not be supported. This may be caused by an attempt to update a non-primary table in a view

CAUSE

ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 1.0 does not support updating long text fields with a forward-only cursor.

RESOLUTION

Use a cursor that supports bookmarks (for example, Keyset or Static).

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
