Default My tick boxes won't work?

I have a form based on a query. There are a number of tick boxes but none of
them are active. The query Reciord set type is Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates)
and the form has Yes to additions, deletions and edits and none of them are
locked.

Can anyone suggest a rason why I can't click on them or edit existing boxes
which are ticked?

Thanks
Tony

Sorry for posting too hasteily. I changed the record source of the form to
the underlying table and it works fine.
Thanks anyway.

Glad you got it fixed! Your original RecordSource apparently was a Read-Only
query. For the reasons why this happens, have a look at this from, Allen
Browne:
