Default Form in Add mode with ODBC Table?

Hi there. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to open a form in add mode to
a table that is linked via ODBC connection? (DB2 database). I don't know if
I'm doing something wrong or not. I've tried data entry "yes" and I have the
fields bound to the linked table. I have also tried DoCmd.GoToRecord , ,
acNewRec to no avail. Am I missing something or do I need unbound fields and
then insert after update...
Thanks,

Is the link itself updateable? My guess is that it is not. Fix that and
then the form will work.
