linking 2 tables causes read only issue

when i link a 1,000,000 record file to another small table to get a
description, it causes a read only issue with the main table, in that, I can
not make any changes.

If i do not link, can make changes. This is a very basic link on a key
field, that have done multi times in other applications. No options are set
to make it read only, so do not know why am being blocked.

suggestions thanks much
 
Presumably when you say "link", what you mean is that you are joining the
tables in a query?

If so, make sure that the query's SELECT list contains the primary keys from
both tables.
