Cannot update textbox on Access form

Question

I have a form frm_Manage_Demand with two subforms: frm_Manage_Demand_Sub and frm_Manage_Demand_Bottom_Sub . I use the subforms to display the data from tbl_Manage_Demand . The reason I use two subforms is because there are two many fields to display on the screen in one form.

The need to allow the user to update the last two fields on the form plus an unbound textbox that is populated when the form is loaded.

I am unable to get the form to allow a user to enter data in the two fields plus the unbound textbox . All fields are set to Enabled = Yes and Locked = No . The main form has no record source. It attributes for Allow Edit, Allow Additions, Allow Deletions are all set to Yes .

The record source for the two subforms is tbl_Manage_Demand .

I created a new test form based on the tbl_Manage_Demand and I can update all fields just fine.

Any hints to solve my problem is sincerely appreciated.

Answer 1

I found that an unknown section of the code turned the control AllowEdits to No . So after the frm_Manage_Bottom_Sub form loaded I changed the control using Forms.[frm_Manage_Demand].[frm_Manage_Demand_Bottom_Sub].Form.AllowEdits = True
