maybe the title should be: form fields became uneditable
I have a large access2003 database, split to FrontEnd and BackEnd parts. it worked fine for several years. lately something has changed. the problem now is that I cannot modify any of the fields through a certain form that uses data from several tables (other forms in the database work fine). I found a backup of the database where the form works fine. if I take the FE part from the backup and use it with the current BE, the form still does not work (i.e. cannot edit fields).
from a glance, the current form properties seems the same as in the backup working database.
this problem has occured while using the database, so it should be something related to erronous keystriking.
what might be the obvious places to look for when trying to find out, why the records cannot be edited anymore ?
Thanks
