Edit data with Query Analyzer

Is there any way I can use Query Analyzer to edit data in a table via a
graphic grid, i.e. actually changing individual values in cells?  Using
SQL statements is too cumbersome for my purpose; I need to have more
hands-on control.

Rick,

Use the Object Browser (F8) --> right-click table --> Open.

Some tables yes and some tables no. I've never figures out why. I would
use SQL Enterprise Manager instead if you absolutely have to edit the
data in a table in this fashion.

I will give another solution, you can actually do everything you want to
manually. even queries can be developed using that... wondering what is it..
it is around every one but rarely people use that is access adp. More so, you
can develop forms/ and reports from sql server data with ease.
follow these  simple steps,

1.open access(better xp or above)
2.select new
3.select new project from exisiting data in the side pane( by this select
adp project not mdb)
4.data link dialogue appears, fill credentials and connection details
5.Rest is the world that you wont imagine

I always thought it is depending on whether the table has a PK, UQ, unique index or not.

That's probably the case.

    I've noticed that tables with no unique constraint of any
kind appear as read-only, but once you add a primary key for example,
you are able to modify data.
    If QA front end is written in MFC, then it is probably related
to the behavior of MFC recordset, which is also read-only after
pulling data from such a table.

Enterprise manager can do that, although I would not do it except when
creating a database for a non-live project.

All data manipulation needs to be done through applications such as
databrowsers and so on.
