Cannot type into a text box !?!

D

David

I have a tabbed form. One of the tabs contained a subform.
This all works fine. However, I added a textbox control
above the subform (it is bound to a column on the main
form not the subform) and this has a problem. I can click
the cursor in it but I cannot type any text. What could
cause this? It is enabled and not locked. It displays the
data from the column but I cannot update it.

is the main form's AllowEdits property set to Yes? is the
main form's RecordSource a query? and if so, is that field
in the query a calculated field, rather than a field from
the underlying table?
