Cannot Type in Unbound Textbox on Unbound Form

[hzeigler4]

I have an unbound textbox on an unbound form. it is set as visible, enabled, and is NOT locked! But when I open the form and try and type in the textbox nothing happens. It will not let me type anything(numbers, characters, etc)

Does anyone know why?

I want the user to type in the week number they would like to report on in the textbox and then click a button to generate the report.

I can't reproduce this. If you create a new blank, unbound form with just the one unbound textbox does it still happen? If it doesn't it points to something else on your form causing the problem.

As for the text box itself, would you not be better off using a combo?

Your form may have AllowEdits set to NO and if so then you can't edit an unbound text box as well as the other controls.

Well I have no idea what was wrong with the form. But I created a new form and it works fine. I have now decided to change it to a combo box per your suggestion! Thanks for the help!
