A single form in a large replicated database becomes read-only, for seemingly
no reason. The form is fixed by selecting modifily the properties of that
form to "allowing edits" ; "allow deletions" and "allow additions" under the
DATA or ALL tab of the properties for that form. This issue is easy to fix,
but difficult to understand why it is occuring.
 
Do you have any code that may temporarily set the form with the items you
mentioned set to No? If so, could there be an error in the code that is
causing you to exit the code before resetting those values? Even if that is
the case, it should return to the defaults set if you close and reopen the
form. The defaults for the form can be changed through code also, but you
have to open the form in design view (acDesign constant for the View
argument in the DoCmd.OpenForm call) to do that.
