    Can't type on a textbox after updating records

    I just inherited an Access app and ran into this problem. The form has several textboxes that need to be filled out according to certain criteria. One of them, labeled comments, is a textbox in which the user enters whatever comments they want. Here's what is happening. The form loads certain data from a table. The user enters comments into the comments field and moves on the next record. If the user returns to the previous record (the one he just entered the comments), then the comments textbox does not allow to edit the text. The user can't type anything, or delete the text.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Check the code behind the form, probably in the current event. There may be something there testing for a new record and setting permissions based on that.
