Default Inputing and Editing Forms

have made a form using the form wizard and in-corporated fields from two
tables (Student name etc) and (Subject, Group and Comments). The comment
field uses the Memo Datatype. When I put the form in datasheet view, The add
record button at the bottom is inactive and I am unable to edit the form or
insert any comments into the form. I have also activated the allow edits in
properties. What have I missed out?

When I use only one table to make the form I can edit and input in the form.
I have a report table with the ReportID as the primary key. The subject
tables feed off the report table with Report ID as foreign keys.

Argovian,
I don't see any field linking the two tables. So you may
have a recordset that is not updateable. Often down in the
status bar it will say just that.
