This property is read-only and can't be set

[Dustin]

Ok, I've spent 2 days searching the internet, posting to
access groups and researching as much as I can, but I've
got nothing and I seriously need some help!!

I've got a simple form/subform relationship set up. I
select a record from a combo box on the parent form and it
populates the subform with the detail info.

Then, I add a new subform record. No problem. However,
whenever I try to TYPE DATA in that new record, I get a
message that reads "This property is read-only and can't
be set."

I click "OK" and then I am able to proceed and save.

The error message appears repeatedly, anytime I try to
input data into a newly added subform record.

Any ideas???

Thanks in advanced,
Dustin

Any code behind the subform? What is the recordsource of the subform;
what are the names of the fields? What are the Link Master/Child fields
of the subform control?

This sounds like you are trying to enter data in the linked field. Is that
what you are doing?
