Default Can update one form but not another

I am using Access 2003. I have two nearly identical (as far as I can
tell) forms, but one will allow updates and one will not. They seem
the same in every important particular:

both forms are populated from a table, not a query
both are continuous
both AllowEdits, AllowAdditions, AllowDeletions all = yes

Can anyone suggest anything else for me to check?

Thanks for your consideration.

Are you getting any error message, or an informational note in the status
bar? If so, what does it say?

Hi night_writer,
There may be some code that changes the data properties for that form when
it opens.
The code that opens that form may open it as Read Only.
The controls on the form may be locked.
The form may be corrupted.

A quick and dirty test is to build a new copy of the form using the form
wizard. See if you can update the new copy of the form.

Thanks for all of the comments and ideas of items to check. I
recreated the form from scratch (fortunately it's a small one) and the
new form works correctly. Looks like the original was really
corrupted. (Not something I ever think to check for. Most of my
problems are all my own fault!)
