Access 2007 Update Query problem

    So, I have a table and I want to update several records in that table. To identify the records I need to update I have a query.

    e.g.

    UPDATE My_Table
    SET My_Table.Field1=1
    WHERE My_Table.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM My_Query)

    My query is identifying the appropriate records, and by using various alternatives (joins etc) to the above I can get the query to display the appropriate result in the 'view' screen, but when I try and run the query it gives me an error "Operation must use an updateable query"

    e.g.

    UPDATE My_Table INNER JOIN My_Query ON My_Query.ID=My_Table.ID
    SET My_Table.Field1=1

    I've tried using a DLookup in the criteria instead of the sub_query, but that returns just a single result.
