editing records via a form 999

[Alex Marchant]

Hi,

I have just built the tables for a db, all linked
correctly i think. I constructed an autoform to add new
details into these tables and when i select a txtbox, an
error reads:-

Control cant be edited; its bound to AutoNumber field
tblTABLE.Primarykey

does anybody know what this means and what i need to do to
rectify it?

thanks in advance for any help

AutoNumber fields cannot be edited. This is a value that
Access assigns automatically each time a new record is
created. It's a unique identifier for each record and
shouldn't be changed. If the user id trying to change this
value because the wizard put the field on the form, you
can change the Visible property to No on the control that
is giving you the error.
