Navigation bar -- why can't I delete?

[Mr. Moose]

I'm a long-time OOP programmer who two days ago started learning Access.
I'm sure this question has been answered a million times, but I can't find
anything in the archive, so my apologiez for asking this for the
million-and-first time.

When I create a form that accesses a SQL Server 2000 table using a data grid
and navigation bar, I can add/edit with no problem, but the delete button is
greyed out. What gives?

 

[Sylvain Lafontaine]

Make sure that the property "Allow Deletions" under the Data tab for the
Access Form is set to Yes. It can also be a permission problem on the
server.

If, after making those verifications, you still have a problem, then we will
need more information on your design; for exemple the Record Source that you
are using.
