using forms

[john kemm]

I am trying to allow a textbox in a subform in a form to accept input from
the keyboard. At the moment it obstinately refuses to react to keyboard entry.

As far as I can see the textbox is enabled and unlocked and the form allows
edits.

Please can anyone suggest what else might be wrong and what I should do to
make this textbox editable.

Many thanks

Is the computer "beeping" at you as you type? Do you see any messages in
the taskbar like "recordset is not updateable"?

It is not uncommon for the form's Recordsource to be the one that does
not allow edits. It is not only the form that controls that.
