Creating a new form

I inherited this access db and when it was created they
established a lock on the main form that did not allow you
to create new records. I tried changing the data entry
property = yes but this did not fix the problem.

Any thoughts on how I might resolve this?

Try setting the form's AllowAdditions property to Yes.

If that does not work, check the RecordSource property of the form. If it's
a query, try opening the query directly. If you cannot add new records to
the query, you will not be able to add them to the form based on that query
either.

BTW, set DataEntry back to No. If this confusingly named property is set to
Yes, it hides all the existing entries - presumably to help you get started
with entering new ones, but it does not make new ones available.
