    trapped by what appears to be a lock on data entry


    I am trying to enter information into tables in a database created with Access 7. I am using Access 10. Some of the queries and tables have a key symbol to the left of the name in the relationships view. I cannot enter more information into these. How do I remove this "lock"?

    The key symbol means these are primary key fields. If the field is an autonumber type, you cannot manually enter data into it. The value is automatically generated when a record is initiated by data entry into any other field.
