    OpenForm action was canceled

    Hello,



    We have a database here at work that will not allow a form to be opened. The first message received upon the main form opening is that the database is in read-only mode, which it should not be. So when trying to open the main data entry form, the message displays that the OpenForm action was canceled. This is our Inventory database and is vital to our daily operations, so I could really use some help here. This happened spontaneously and no modifications have been made to any part of the database. Also, for some reason, this has affected ALL backup copies of the database, some going back to last year. Can someone please offer some advice as to how this can be fixed??? Thank you.

    is this db on a network share drive?
    is the database split?
    can you open the form in design mode?
