    Table ribbon events (before and after) are greyed out


    Using Access 2013, my (Access 2002-2003 database) table ribbon events (before and after) are greyed out. How can I enable them?

    Thanks,
    Rich

    Thanks for that. Is there any other option that someone might know of?

    Table data macros were not available prior to Access 2010. Maybe even though you open file with Access 2013, they will not be available if the file is an mdb.
