recordset not updateable.......help!

[Tyinawyn]

Hi there,

I have a split database sitting on a shared drive. some users have access 2010 and some have runtime.

initially when I set this up it was working fine but I had set up my links wrong by using the letter drive instead of the UPC.

I changed this, passworded the backend compacted and repaired the sent installed new front ends.

The access 2010 users can fill in the forms fine, but the runtime users can see the whole database but the forms come up blank.

I can't figure out what has changed or what I've missed.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks

if its a simple form for data entry, with normal subforms, then runtime should show it.
Do you have any 'special' controls that aren't normal? , any embedded objects?

are the runtime and the database the same version?
old database .mdb, with new runtime may not work.

yeah it is a pretty simple form with no special objects.

I'm a bit confused as it did work before I put password and changed links.

Could it be directly because of this?

I have tried opening the front end from the network folder this time and runtime states 'opening read only, you can only make changes to linked tables to make changes save as.

have copied the front end again onto users laptop and again everything works great apart from adding new records through the forms?

Good news but still not sure......lol

Have checked on another laptop using runtime with new FE, it works absolutely fine.

So it is isolated to this one laptop, not the database, same software

any ideas on what could be causing this one laptop to not show the forms?

Thanks so much

Explain, exactly, what "the forms come up blank" means. Do the Forms appear, with the Controls (i.e. Textboxes, Comboboxes, etc.) showing but empty? Or do they truly show up 'blank,' i.e. not even displaying the Controls?

did you change the backend tables? Added for example a column?. Then you have to refresh the linked tables...
