Cannot type info into an unbound text box

[jwmott]

I have created an unbound form with two unbound text boxes
to accept begining and end dates to limit reporting.
These text boxes are not locked, and they have no control
source selected. The form that the text boxes live on also
has no control source, yet when viewing the form in form
view, I cannot input anything in the text box. The arrow
keys work to move through the text box mask (short date)
but I can type no values in. Anyone got any ideas?

Is the Form's AllowEdits property turned off?

Allow edits is turned on. I found the problem, and it
was a strange one. I had the forms template set to the
switchboard. I removed this, then created a new blank
form, no template, everything worked as expected.
