Cannot add text in textbox

[jc_msa]

I have an unbound combobox for which I was not able to select any item. Rather than resolve this issue, I went the simpler route and added an unbound textbox which is Editable and NOT Locked. However I cannot enter any text into this textbox. The form Allows Edits.

Why is it that I cannot edit any of my controls.

It may not be locked but may be disabled? Or does it appear normal and not greyed out? In that case, open a new form in design view and copy the control to it. If you can type in it in form view, the other form may be corrupt. If you can't type in it in the new form, the control may be corrupt. Then again, you wrote

Why is it that I cannot edit any of my controls.

but then posted as if the problem is with one control, so I'm leaning towards corrupt form.

I take it that this "an unbound textbox which is Editable" means your form Allow Edits property is set to yes/true.

Thank you for your help.

Issue resolved. Developer error!!

I was setting Form AllowEdits = False in Form_Load().

Easy enough to know. In the immediate window you ask what you want to know. It's like the all-knowing Swami at the fair:

?Forms!myForm.AllowEdits << hit Enter and you should get True or False. Good for just about anything you want to know or test.
