Confused&Wondering

Hi,

I have an Access 2007 database split into a front-end and back-end. I have
been using this database successfully for some time now and have been
creating and editing records easily. But, when I try to copy and paste text
into fields on my forms the paste button is disabled. The same problem
occurs if I try to open one of my linked tables and copy and paste text in
the datasheet view of the table. However, if I create a new, non-linked
table in my database I can easily copy and paste text in that table's fields.
So why can't I copy and paste into linked tables and their forms?

Thanks for your time,
Adam.
 
Has the paste button always been disabled in this database?
Usually, the paste button is only disabled when there is not any control to
paste into - such as when all controls on a form are locked or readonly.

This leads me to think that there is something wrong with the links to the
backend.
Apart from pasting, can you add a new record to one of the linked tables?
