Error when form loaded

[dp111443]

Hi,

When I try to add a new record, I recieve the following error:

-------
You can't assign a value to this object.

* The object may be a control on a read-only form.
* the object may be on a form that is open in Design view
* The value may be to large for this field.
-------

I've checked out all the options and all are false. The weird thing is, it occurrs when I try to create a new record and try to put a value into any text box of the form. The error comes up 3 time one after the other and then I can add values to the text box thereafter no problem.

Its just very annoying when you have to click 'OK' three times on the error message everytime you create a new record.

Anybody know how I can overcome this problem?

Thanks for your help.

Hi

I've had this error message before, I know it sounds like shit advice but try deleting the fields and starting again. Don't use the wizard to create the fields. Set the recordset property of the form to the table you want to add a record to. A box containing those fields will appear. Drag those fields onto your form and then you shoudn't have a problem!

Hope this helps
