Date field in form was working fine, then stopped accepting data

You don't need to edit a report so your existing query will work for that.
Just leave the employee table out of your query that you need to edit.

Duane,
You get the prize!!!!!!! Taking the employee table out of the query
worked.
I did do a combo box for employees in my form. However, since I have
employeenumber from tbl.employee, when I open the query all info. is there
except for the employee name/number. How do I now get the employee name
to
display with the respective information in the query so that I can create
a
report. That was why I originally put the employee table in the query
because the information regarding the employee does not show up otherwise.

Why are you including tblemployees in this query when it doesn't seem
like
you have included any fields from the table. Also, is EmployeeName the
primary key of tblemployees?

I am biting my tongue regarding the un-normalize structure and all the
calculations in the query that might better be handled in the form or
report.

I did open the query as you suggested and the * is grayed out. Just as
you
said it I can't insert a new record. I did try to compact and repair
the
database and that did nothing. I did paste the sql from the query
below
and
it is the table.prod.workofdate that seems to be giving me the issue.

Try Tools.. Database Utilities... Compact and Repair Database. You
might have some uncollected "garbage" sitting around with all the
changes you're making.

If that doesn't help, please open the Query. Does it have the * "new
record" row at the bottom? If not, then the query itself is not
updateable. If that's the case, open it in SQL view and post the SQL
text here. Indicate which field is giving you the problem.
