I have created a form for editing current database info.
The form opens, but does not allow edits. I open it with
a macro in which i have specified to allow edits, and I
also checked the form properties and it is also specified
to allow edits. am i missing something????
 
Hi Suz,
What is supplying data to your form? If it is a
query, check to see if you can add a record to the query?
Is the New Record button on the navigation bar bolded or
greyed out? If is a table, enter a new record. If you get
an error, post back and let us know.

Hope This Helps
 
A query is supplying the data to the form. I have a field
that requires the user to enter the job # they wish to
edit. The query runs correctly and also allows me to add
a record to it
 
Make sure the form is set for Allow Additions and Allow
Deletions = YES. Can you open the form without the macro?
If so, can you then edit data?

Hope This Helps
 
i cant open the form without the macro unless of course it
is in design mode. and both allow additions and allow
deletions are set to yes. i swear this form worked
before, but i can't think of what i could have changed
that made it not work now.
 
If you take the macro out of the form and click on form
view..what happens? What kind of error message do you get?
