No longer have a blank entry line?! What happened?!
Hello,
I had a form that had as a record source a table. When the form was opened it showed a listing of the data but always end with a blank entry line so that the user could add a new entry. I have recently had to modify the record source to be now based on a query that uses three tables. However, the form no longer displays a blank entry line anymore. How can I get it back? Why is it gone in the first place? thank you for the help, Daniel |

Sounds like your form is now based on a query that is not updatable. Open
the underlying query and see if you can add records there. I'm betting because of the types of joins/selections that you will not be able to. Rick B "Daniel" wrote in message ...

You were right, but how can I make it updatable?! What makes a query updatable or not?

That is a harder question. Copy and paste your query in here and we can
look at it. Hopefully an MVP or someone a little better at that type of thing will see it. Rick B "Daniel" wrote in message ... You were right, but how can I make it updatable?! What makes a query updatable or not? Daniel |

You were right, but how can I make it updatable?! What makes a query updatable or not? See the help file topic, "When can I update data from a query?" In the Access 2002 help, this topic is located under "Queries" - "Opening, Viewing, and Running Queries". If that doesn't help you figure it out, post the SQL of the query. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |

I had the same thing happen to me the other day. My data came from one table
only, so there was no updatable problem. What I found was, that I had for some reason some time ago, for some reason, I removed the primary key from the main table. As soon as I put the primary key back to my main field, the input line reappeared again. Annelie "Daniel" wrote in message ... You were right, but how can I make it updatable?!
