New Record Entry Doesn't Work

[Therese Bartlet]

I am new to this so I apologize if this has been asked before, I
couldn't find the answer. I cannot add a new record from a form. The
Allow Additions property is set to yes, but the Insert New Record
button and menu is not active. There must be a default somewhere that
is prohibitting me from adding new records. Any ideas?

Hi Therese

Check to see if the query behind the form is updatable. If
you cannot add a new record to the query, you will not be
able to add one to the form. You may need to change your
query around until it is updatable.

Hope This Helps

You are right the query was also not updatable, but I could not figur
out why. It turns out that the query was just too complicated all of
sudden. I removed some of the "Group By" options and paired it down
little and then it worked fine. Thank you for all your help!
