Data Access Page // add/delete/edit button are disabled

Dear,
when creating a simple Data Access Page based on one table/2 fields
(LastName/FirstName) table (no indexes), I get a form that can be navigated
(previous/next record). Unfortunately, I cannot add/delete/edit any data
since the corresponding buttons are disabled.

I realy do not understand why this is. The form is linked to the table. Data
from the table is shown in the form. The same happens when using the wizard
to create a Page.

I am using Access2003 on a XP Home machine. The result is the same when
opening/creating a DB in 2000 format.

Any ideas to mitigate this inconvenience are welcomed
 
The table must have a primary key defined for the add, delete and edit
buttons to be enabled. Also, I don't want to discourage you but there are a
lot of other problems with DAP and MS has ceased to fully support this
technology in Office 2007; so you are pretty much in a dead-end with DAP.

There is also a newsgroup about DAP:
microsoft.public.access.dataaccess.pages. This newsgroup is pretty much
dead by now; however, it you take a look at the old postings (using Google
Groups for example); probably that you will learn a lot (if you are really
interested in looking into this technology, of course).
