Default How to enable New/Delete record button when a form opened?

Hello,
I have a problem to fix my program. It's a form which display records. I
have "New record" and "Delete record" buttons on the toobar. It works fine
before, however, for some reason, when I open the form, those buttons still
grey out(disabled). I am not sure how it happened. Any advices to make it
enabled?

Thank you very much.

Have you set the form properties Allow additions and Allow deletions to No by
accident ?

This would seem to indicate that your forms are now Read-Only. What
modifications have you made to your forms/database prior to the problem
arising?

Also, what version/service pack of Access are you running?

I am not really sure when this happened. I didn't see any different in that
form coding.

I use Access 2000 SP3.

Are we talking about when the form or the subform or both have focus? Are
these forms based on tables or queries? If queries, can you delete or add
records if you open the queries independent of the forms?

Yes, it is a subform. If I open the subform directly, it still unable to
add/delete record.

It is based on queries. I still be able to add/delete records on that
queries.
