I have a few forms which i have designed to be subforms to a mainform that has no fields or record source.
The forms have an unbound textbox and combo box, which i use to seach the data on these 'continuous' forms. Which works fine when i open them as main form. However, as soon as i use them as subforms i can't enter or select anything from the unbound textbox and combo box on the subform.
I have checked both the mainform, subform and subform unbound textbox and combo box settings and all allow edits.
What else is causing the subforms unbound textbox and combo box to be locked ?

I've tried to reproduce you problem, in Access 2003, and simply cannot do so. If the main form and the subform both have AllowEdits set to Yes, there should be no problem with this arrangement. I'm assuming that the combobox won't let you actually make a selection, is that correct? Have you tried editing a textbox on the offending subform?
Is this behavior on one subform or all of the subforms?
Linq ;0)>
Thanks for your reply.
It's on all the sub forms i use all forms are set to allow edits and the combo box and text box are enabled and not locked.
I can't select anything from combo box or edit the text box when using the form as a subform, but i can select list values on the combo box and edit the text box when form is being used as a main form.
I tired seaching every forum and search engine i could, the only threads i found talked about links with the main form, but i don't have a recordsouce on the main form.
I'm at a loss.
I just thought it might be worth adding that i also can't edit the fields on the sub form either not just the unbound text box and combobox
FIXED.
Although both the subform and the mainform where set to allow edits the actual subform holder on the mainform had it's property set to locked. Another 3hrs wasted over a simple setting, oh well live and learn.
A lesson you'll not soon forget! Glad you got it figured out!

I have a unbound main form with unbound fields that correspond to

subform to allow the user to double check totals against paperwork.

I'm running Access 97 and have a sub-form within a main form. The subform
allows data entry by the user. Now, I would also like to enter a row from a
macro, but when I try, the entry always goes into the first row even if
there has been a user entry there. Any suggestions on how I can do this?
Thanks.

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?

Could someone please explain why I can't set the Subform control
Visible attribute to False as below?
The statement for the locked attributes work but not for the

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some advice on whether I should break the
normalization rule. Normally, I would not consider it, but this seems
to be a special case.
I have created an "Outcomes Database" used to store response data
from measures/ questionnaires for a longitudinal health study. It is
essentially derived from Duane Hookom's Survey Database (thanks
Duane!!!), with many modifications added to fit the needs of my lab.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
