View / update data on a Continous form

[Bunky]

Good Morning!
I have a table that contains Goal numbers for our agents. I want the
operator to be able to open this form and see all agents on the table (only
about 12 or so) and what all their numbers are as they are stored and be able
to update them to a new monthly goal. I have not been able to get the data
to display let alone to be updated. Can I do this? This is the first time I
have tried to use Continous Forms.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

The only reasons data doesn't display using default Access forms is:

1. There is no connected recordsource (open the property sheet and check the
recordsource property of the form)

2. You have a query which isn't updateable, and there is no data in that
recordsource.

Try starting over and using a wizard to help create the form.

Arvin,

Thank you a bunch! That worked fine but I do not know what I did on my
building the form myself that did not work. Oh, well!

Thanks,
Kent

What specific problem are you having? What's the Recordsource property of the
form? How is your table structured? Is the goal a field in the table of
Agents? More info please!
