    Ability to edit my form has disappeared

    I have been using a form I created for a week or 2 with no problems. all of a sudden today I can not edit any field on my form. Also I can not add a new record. I checked my form's properties and Allow Edits = Yes Any ideas would be appreciated.

    If you have not changed anything, possible corruption. Build a new form and see if issue repeats.

    Is the DB Read Only?
    You should get a warning when you open it, but perhaps if you have warnings off, that might not happen?

    I'll build a new form and see if I can edit that. Thanks for the suggestion. I will also get back to you as to what happens.

    You could also upload the database to the Forum to see if we get the same as you.

    It was a small form, so I created a new form of the exact same structure AND everything works. I deleted the form I could not edit and moved on. Thanks for your help.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
