Wierd Message

I have built a Subform inside a regular form. I have a text box inside the subform. It it set up as Text in the table. When I go to enter in information I get this message:

"You cant 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 too large for this field.

Okay the form is definitely not a read only form. And it cant be in design view or I wouldnt be able to insert any characters. The value shouldnt be to large because it happens the moment I enter a single character.

After I click "Ok". Everything is okay.


Need help here on why this is happening.

Thanks

Does the field that you are having problems with get its data from elsewhere. I have had problems like this when I use code, say in the OnClose property that assigns a value to the field before closing. If I try to type in data directly, I get the message you describe.

There are probably more reasons but I suggest you have a look at the field and how it's being used by any code, macro or combo etc..
The clue might be there....
