I have a form which allows you to select a record. That record has
other records asscociated with it via a table. The asscociated records
of the record selected on the main form are shown in a subform.
This all works fine. But then, when I try to edit a record in the
subform It does not let me. I have a dropdown box, but cannot select
from it... does anyone know why this is, and what I could do to fix it?

It could be several different things, but here are some common ones.
1. Open your subform in design view and look at the properties of the
form. Look at the data tab. If Allow Edits is set to No, then you
can't edit data without changing it to Yes.
2. Look at the properties of your field you are trying to update.
Again look at the data tab. If Locked is set to Yes, or Enabled set to
No, then you cannot edit the field. Enabled must be Yes, and Locked
No.
3. If your Record Source for the form is a query that has outer joins
you cannot edit the data. If you don't know what an outer join is,
look at the query and if there is an arrow going from one table to
another, that is an outer join.
4. If your Record Source for the form is a query that has joins, but
the join is not on the primary key of one of the tables, you probably
will not be able to edit the data.
That should give you some things to check for.
Hope that helps! or********@gmai l.com wrote:

I have a pretty straightforward database that is designed to record
free-form information about products (date, source and a memo field).
This is searched and updated via a form. For new records, the memo
field is usually filled by cutting and pasting from e-mails, web
content and spreadsheets.
The only problem is that some of the memos can be just a few words,
and some can be tens or hundreds of lines, and I've realised that

Hi.
I have a form with continuous forms and a data entry section in the
header of the form. (I.e. all transactions show in the main form area
like a data sheet and the data for the highlighed tran is entered or
edited in the header.)
Record source for the form is a query that is sorted by tran date.
Records are sorted by date of transaction ascending.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
