why can I not copy or paste anything in datasheet view?

[Guest]

i have a table open in access, in datasheet view, and i can not cut, copy or
paste in to the table or from the table. i want to copy one feild at a time.
The data is stored on a server, so when i use a diffrent computer evrything
works fine.
can someone help me?

Check the data properties for the form:

filters = yes
edits = yes
deletions = yes
additions = yes
data entry = no

For each field, the data properties:

enabled = yes
locked = no

If you are in a table (not a form) then they don't exist. Sounds like your
link is read only. Common when the table on the server has no Priamry Key
or unique index.

my file is not a read only, i can do evrything with it besided for copieng
and pasting. i can do this with this file on other computers, just not on
mine. i upgraded to a newer version of access (2003) and it did not help.

In the design view, click on the small black square in the top left hand
corner and go to the "data" tab.

For a particular field right click, go to the properties and then go to the
"data" tab.

If you had set the form up normally these settings should be defaulted.
