Can't edit data in forms (sub form works fine)

My form appears to be locked - I can no longer enter info
(but the subform still works fine). I just get a "ping"
when I try to enter info. This is a relatively simple
(Access 101) Table feeding a Query that feeds a Form. I
may have created the problem when I sorted the query so
all records appear in order in the Form. I also changed
the order of the columns in the query..none of this
should have affected the Form. My table is still in tact
and I can enter information in it with no problem. I
tried deleting some of the fields from the query and
form, then re-establishing them - but this had no
impact. Any idea what I may have done to my form/query
to "lock" it up? The Query is set to "no Record Locks"
and the Form Selector is set as follows: Data entry to
Yes; Record Locks to Edit, Allow edits, deletes and
additions.

Thanks for any suggestions.
 
If there are any GroupBys, aggregate functions or totals in the query that
underlies the main form? If so, then the query is not going to be
updateable.
 
Bingo! Thats the problems - THANKS!!!
