Unable to edit data in SQL backend table

[amywolfie]

I am using Access as a frontend for several SQL tables linked in via
ODBC.

I am able to edit data in all tables except for one. A new field was
added as a bit, but will not permit editing either as a checkbox,
text, or number field in SQL.

I have these SQL bit fields on other Access forms and I am able to
check the checkbox.

Thanks.

Who added that field?

Were permissions granted in the SQL-source?

Some versions of Access and SQL Server had problems if a SQL bit field
allowed nulls. Try setting the field to no nulls and if possible assign a
default value. I've been able to use bit fields in all recent versions of
Access and SQL Server. Also make sure the table in question has a primary
key defined. Without that Access can't edit.
