It's not only the form that's bound, but the textbox as well. If your form
has a record source, and your textbox has a control source that is a valid
field in the form's record source, or even if the textbox's control source is
an Access function [e.g. "=Date()"], you have a bound textbox that cannot be
editted. This is because the textbox is forced to get its data from the
form's record source (or computer's date setting) so it's essentially
'locking out' the user from making any changes.
If you want to be able to make changes to the data, you must make the
textboxes unbound. To do this, you must remove the control source AND rename
the textbox (if necessary) so it is not equal exactly to any valid field in
the form's record source.
Hope this is helpful,

Please excuse my ignorance, but why can't I edit data in my bound and
filtered form?
