Conversion 97->2000 form fields are read-only

[Dinictus]

Hi

I have a strange problem. I have converted a 97 dbase to a 2000 one.
When compiling it says compiling did't go perfect. (but what didn't go perfect it didn't say) and now I can't add any more record into all the tables that work via my subform view. I can add records directly into the structure but not via the form.

when I look at the field properties there is no sign that this field would be protected or read only (says false)

Anyone who can help me out a bit. I'm kinda disstressed!
thnks.

Have you tried going into a module / form code and compiling it? It's possible that it may flag up something there.

Thnks for your reply !

To be honest, I have given up.
I'm actually pretty fed up with all the strangeness in Access.
It's probably my skill level that is too low but I really see some strange non-intuitive stuff happing with access sometime.

When you're very new to it, it does seem to be very strange but does get easier, (well some things do). If you want to post the '97 version I'll see if I can work out what's going on. I can't promise anything - not an expert, but will have a look.
