I stumbled across this forum when I was getting the same error message
for an Access table. I could run a select query no problem. But when
I tried to run an update query I'd get the error "the search key was
not found in any record". The Access help said this was common when
using ISAM SEEK - whatever that is! Anyway... the quick fix I found
for this was to look at the design view of both tables in my query and
check for memo fields which contained an indexing. Memo fields can't
be indexed and this is the cause of the error. I removed the index and
no problems. Hope that helps.
