update query not updatable

I have Table A and Query B with the same four fields. If three of the fields
match, then I want to take the fourth field (which is a summation) from Query B
and copy it to the fourth field in Table A. Whenever I try to run an update
query to do this, I get the message Operation Must Use An Updatable Query.

The mere presence of Query B in my update query, whether I refer to it or not,
causes the above error message. I tried using a Dlookup in the Update To
field, but this does not resolve the problem.

Is there a way to correct this? If not, is there a way around it?

Thanks!
