Default 'new record' grayed out in query

Hello friends,
I recently added a calcuation field to a query (in Access 2007 in a file
saved to be compatible to Access 2003), and it even works. But now, the 'new
record' field is greyed out in both the query and, of course, the attached
form.
But I can create a new field in the table.
Help?

The calculation field I added, in case it matters, is an Expression, titled
'FigureTax: ([PricePaid]*0.0876)'

thanks so much -
Mary

Something like a calculated field could cause a query to be unupdateable.
There are many other things. See the link below.
