  • Unfortunately your screenshot doesn't provide enough info to give you specific guidance. It would be better to post the underlying code on which your append query is based.

    There are many reasons why queries may be read only. See http://allenbrowne.com/ser-61.html.
    If any of those reasons apply, your INSERT query will fail
