Can't find my data!

[Guest]

I had typed in more than 200 reports on Access 2000 and then accidentally hit
"Data entry" under the records tab. I can search for my data and view it but
now I can't edit it any more. What should I do?

Turn DataEntry back off?

That property is used when you specifically do NOT want to see existing data.

Open the Form in design view. Use the "View" menu to view its
Properties. Set the Data Entry property to No.

Your data is still there - it's just that setting a form's Data Entry
property to Yes hides it, and only lets you add new data.
