I Get Recordset Not Updateable Error Message In Access 2003

[Guest]

After closing down my Access 2003 database one night I found the following
morning upon opening the data base that one form & a different form subform
were not longer editable. AllowEdits, AllowAdditions, etc are all set to yes
.....

Help!!!

If the form is based on a query, open the query directly.
Can you enter data into the query?

If not see:
Why is my query read-only?
at:

for a list of things to trace down.

If the query is updatable, but the form is not, check the properties on the
Data tab of the form's properties:
Recordset Type Dynaset
Data Entry No

Also, check the main form's properties. If the main form's AllowEdits is no,
you won't be able to edit in the subform either.

Is it possible that the form's RecordSource was changed to the name of a
non-updateable query? To check for "updatability", open the form and check
the RecordSource property. If it is a query, open the query itself and
attempt to change data.
