Data enry boxes not working

[TES]

Access 2007 form box not working.
I have 2 boxes on my data entry form that are tabbed over each other. They
have white boxes in them that I should be able to enter data and have it
stored to the record. I put text boxes in them when I designed the form and
they are tied to a column in the database view. BUT when I try to type in
the boxes, nothing happens, not even a sound, as when I mistype.

Can anyone help?

TES,

Can you type into the underlying query?

I no longer have anything in the boxes, they are both gray areas on the form.
I am starting over I guess. Anyway I want to enter free form text
(discriptions of problem & Fix) and have them stored in the record when saved
and closed.
Do I need to make a field on the datasheet and link it to these boxes, or
make something in the gray areas and them tie it to the record? (Ps I last
worked in Access 97 so am rusty) Thanks......

TES,

In order for those tect to accept data and save that data, then yes you must
add those fields to the table and then bind those fields to the text boxes
on your form.
