Since you created the form via the wizard (and, I assume, you have not
subsequently changed any form properties), the most likely cause is that the
underlying query itself is non-updateable. You can check this quickly by
opening the query and seeing if there is a blank new record at the bottom.

There are many reasons why a query may be non-updateable; see here for
details:

HTH,
