Can't Move Between Records on a Form with the Navigation Buttons

hi
Hi,
I've created a form, on the bottom it has the navigation buttons to move to
the next/previous records. However, the button for "new record" is greyed
out (i can't select it). How do I make the "new record" button visible so
I can select it? No matter what I do (Records->Save Records) it won't save
this record and allow me to enter another record. I'm creating a form
using Design View, some fields contain data that are input into the text
boxes while others are from fields from a table. I'm running Access XP,
thanks for any help.

The New record button is enabled only when the source of the form allows
new records. Maybe the form is based on a query that is not updatable.
Maybe you have inadvertedly set the AllowAdditions property of the form
to False (it should be True if you want to insert new records).

This only happens when the underlying data is not updatable (e.g. the
Form.RecordSource is a Totals query), or when Form.AllowAdditions (and
perhaps Form.AllowUpdates) is False.

hi
In Properties under Data, the "Allow Additions" is set to "Yes". and I
don't see the "Allow Updates" option.
thanks for the replies.
