TextBox not allowing data entry

[RcNorth]

I am creating a new form to act as a search screen. I have placed an unbound textbox on the formheader to allow the user to enter in what information they are searching for. I want to then parse the information and depending on what the data is I will perform a search on different fields.

The problem that I am having is that the textbox is not allowing any data entry. It is not locked and is enabled. I have another form that is similar and the text box works on that one.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Dean

Sounds like you either

1. Have the AllowEdits property set to NO

Or

2. The rowsource for the form is not updateable.

See here for reasons why it could be not updateable:

Thanks for the quick response. I had the form set to not allow edits.
