Cannot Enter Data in a Field Robert T 08.09.2006 12:48:02 Hello: I have a simple flat file db that tracks Time & Attendance for me at work. All of the fields have default values so I wrote a short "dirty record' script that saves the new record. Without that script, the record won't be saved. Everything works perfectly except for the Note field [text]. I can no longer enter a new note or edit an old note. I checked the form and the field is enabled so I have no clue as to why this is happening. Any thoughts? Thanks

Re: Cannot Enter Data in a Field "ManningFan" <manningfan[ at ]gmail.com> 08.09.2006 14:52:20 Sometimes I think about what exactly goes into a hot dog, but then I try to forget about it. As for your database, are you saying that at one time you could edit/enter information and now you can't? Did you try repairing/compacting the database? You coul dhave corrupted data in that field in your table, which could cause it to puke.

Re: Cannot Enter Data in a Field Robert T 08.09.2006 15:39:01 Hello Manning Fan: Yes, it's worked perfectly for almost two months, now I can't enter new data in the Note text field, nor can I edit the old data. Everything else is working fine. This is no big deal, but it is annoying. By the way, which Manning? Robert

Re: Cannot Enter Data in a Field Robert T 08.09.2006 18:20:01 I just realized I cannot edit any fields in a saved record. I went into Form Properties where Allows Edits = YES and Data Entry = NO. Robert
