Data Entry Disabled after conversion

W

Willie

I have been operating a mailing list database for approx
3 years, (flawlessly). Built in Access 97, converted to
access 2000, now converted to Access 2003. Now I find
that I cannot enter (update) data on my forms that used
to work perfectly. The forms are populated from a query.
I simply cannot discover why I cannot enter data on the
form or in the datasheet view of the query.
I figure it is something little that changed in the
conversion, but darned if I know where the changes are.
I would appreciate at least a hint of where to look.

Thank You

Hi Willie,

Have you checked to see if the underlying query is updateable?

If it's no longer updateable it's very possible that JET 4.0 (for 2000 and
above) does not allow your query to be updateable versus JET 3.5 (Access
97). Thereby, the things I recommend you do are the following:

- Install latest service pack of JET 4.0 (service pack 8) from
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=239114

- Reboot computer and recheck query to see if it's still not updateable

- If it's still not updateable from the query then your option is (outside
of rewriting the query to an updateable query) is to change the Form's
Recordset Type to "Dynaset Inconsistent Updates"

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
