Hi:

I have a form which can add a new record, I add some records and edit some
rocords this morning, one error message showed (which has a kind of error
number), I didn't pay too much attention to it.

After that, my form can't add any new record, the navigation add new button
turns to gray (do not let you add new one), also my "Add New" Button tells
me: can't go to speicfic record.

My other staff's computer also can't do "Add New" as well (we have same
Access Application front end, and we share the database from one Pc).

Please let me know why? Appreciate it.

Thanks.

Sounds as if the backend database has locked the record/table and will not
let you edit it any more.

Close all copies of the front end. Check the directory folder where the
backend database is located. Is there a file there that has the same name as
the backend db except that its file extension is .ldb? If yes, delete that
..ldb file and then try editing your record.
 
Hi: ken

Thanks for your email.

There is no .ldb file in my backend database folder.

Any other possibilities?

Thanks.

James,

Long shot... any chance the rights to the network folder where the back end
is stored have been changed, and you are not allowed to write to it anymore?
