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. |

Can update one form but not another
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.

Can update one form but not another
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!) Alice On Nov 4, 5:54*pm, "Jeanette Cunningham" wrote: Hinight_writer, There may be some code that changes the data properties for that form when it opens.
